Yes, the ones who can afford to sacrifice because they've enjoyed $240K plus for many years. The point is, many have already sacrificed, and will continue to do so for many years in lost wages and the lost opportunity costs, just based on the dynamics of the past five years and the projections going forward. Shouldn't those who are in the best position to make sacrifices and can best afford to do so be the ones who actually make the sacrifice, rather than those with less economic means?

 

If you don't understand now, then you won't ever understand, so what's the point of discussing? No, you rationalize your actions anyway your choose. Knucklehead!

 

Wow! What erudition! And the name calling is just classic. Are you next going to threaten to "beat me up?"

 

Unbelievable that such comments could come from someone that is charged with the responsibility a FedEx pilot is charge with. Really speaks to the entitlement society we live in. Me me me. I don't know, I just can't believe even a naive FDX pilot would say such pitiful things here. I think someone already nailed it. It's got to be a shill from management. That's not me just throwing snide comments in a "back at cha" manner. I really believe this is from someone paid from management or their paid anti-union legal firm from Atlanta. It speaks to how stupid/gullible they feel we are.

Stop pondering the PAST! It will not change.

Start ACTING NOW for a better tomorrow.

 

Pick, you really are either a knucklehead, management, or plain stupid. (Hows that for erudition?)

You dont wait to get your "war chest" while we are in negotiations. You do it a year before negotiations start. If you cant understand that concept I feel sorry for you. It has nothing to do with L or R seat. Live within your means.

 

Pickle,
Guess I missed the part when I got hired that guaranteed me the wide body left seat in 10 yrs. I also didn't have the luxury of a ride seat wide body as a new hire or even at year 5. Look at the industry standard for a wide body upgrade. Our company was fortunate to have had the timeframe where this unprecedented progress was possible. Age 60 hit every company not just purple. As far as many will be over 60 before they are wide body captains, For the ones from the military, that was a life choice for most who stayed on active duty, at which once the decision was made knew most likely being in their mid 40's the airlines would most likely NOT hire them.

Basing your finances on a false expectation is a dangerous game and a poor excuse for your actions.

As far as being over 60 before you can upgrade
Shouda, Coulda, Woulda,

Maybe you SHOULDA let your cojones drop and take a chance and get out after your first tour, then you COULDA potentially been hired during the wonder years and you possibly WOULDA upgraded at your expectation rate.

Why do I have the feeling you were ALWAYS the one quibbling after returning from the range....
My scores shouldn't count 'cause
Lead's bomb obscured the target
I wasn't low on that pass, my altimeter must be off.
I can't help it if my TER was bad
I just want to be held.
