Excellent question. . . .

 

What makes you think he is not FedEx pilot?

 

Excellent question. . . . . .

 

I don't know who Eighteen Wheeler is, but I am a FedEx HKG based pilot and his/her assessment is spot on.

 

Reminds me of Larry David..

"Not everybody knows your rules Larry!"

Watch "Larry's Laws: The World According to Larry David" Video at New York Magazine

 

The 747-400 position listed in his profile?

Or, I guess he could be providing an elaborate disguise to throw off the company APC spies. Clever.
All they know now is that he might be a trucker who is also trained in the ways of the -400. Good thing he didn't put MD-11 or A300 in the profile, they'd have IDed him after his first post.

I'm not doubting his info, unfortunately. My confidence in our union's ability to enforce our contract and LOAs is shaken regularly.

So you verify that:

ALPA "allowed" the company to pursue punitive actions prior to the 18 month deadline specified in the LOA?

A pilot was fired even after contacting his CP, verifying what he was doing was not in violation and saving the emails detailing such an exchange?

Pilots were investigated and terminated without being initially notified and offered the option to use the amnesty program?

 

Skepticism is great, Adlerdriver. Would that all FDX pilots had this attitude, but many remain purple punch drunk. But you can take it from another poster with close knowledge of HKG events: EighteenWheeler knows what he's talking about here. His post is 100% true based on my own personal knowledge. More details of these cases will become public when the AK State Commission on Human Rights finishes its investigation phase and starts prosecting FDX (3 initial complaints plus, I think, 3 more complaints of retaliation filed so far), and when these four termination cases proceed to arbitration.

Keep in mind that so far none of the fired pilots has had his/her day in court/arbitration, with an opportunity to confront witnesses or even to submit their own testimony. Meanwhile FDX continues to refuse to release information that would show just how arbitrary and inconsistent its prosecution of the fired pilots has been. The ASCHR has subpoena powers, so FDX's attempts to obstruct justice won't last forever. BS's return to the line is a good indication that the company knows how vulnerable its own managers have made it in this case -- no doubt that's among the reasons the company has hired outside counsel to represent it in AK.

 

Alaskan, I think many of us on this board would appreciate it if you kept us up to date on any significant findings or actions regarding this situation.

Thanks!

Think about it, ever thought he might be married to one? He might also be a hunter.
