Let the (FDX) concessions begin ...
You guys don't know how good you have it. There are thousands and thousands of us regional pilots that work every bit as hard as you do, while making 10% of your salary with astonishingly sub-par work rules, and you're here complaining about jury duty.

You miss the point, Mr. Anderson. You may think it's just complaining, and in bad form at that since you make less than Fedex pilots. But be glad that people are complaining and fighting these fights that seem so trivial to you now. How do you lose a mile without knowing it? An inch at a time.

Your fellow pilots voted for your pay rates, they weren't forced down their throats by management.
No one here should waste time educating you on a basic tenet of this profession.

As pointed out to you already, this isn't about jury duty, it's about the principle. Their CBA makes it clear what kind of pay protection there will be when a pilot is "on-call" for jury duty. And now their Association reps have bargained away 50% of that pay protection? For what, that's the real question? Hopefully not for naught.

No one forces you to fly for crap wages...you have chosen to do so. You want better wages and work rules, quit working for them.

CBA Section 25.Y.5. states.

Call-In Jury Duty Settlement Agreement
"On effective date of next CBA,WHY are we agreeing to half pay for a whole day of work?
Who made this agreement? Did the MEC know about it and agree to it, or did the MEC Chairman sign it and brief them afterwards on a teleconference?
What's next? Half pay on R-days where you don't actually fly? Third pay for airport standbys when you don't launch?
.
" In jurisdictions where a juror is required to stay in his city and call jury administration authorities daily to be available for jury assignment, a pilot shall be eligible for jury duty pay protection ..."

Do not spit up your dinner but we agree!!! Why give up 50% when the contract language is clear!

For this, we have received...nothing. Nothing now, and nothing in the terms of the next CBA.
Got it. Thank you.
