Management is surely taking them for a ride with the contract and full pension they have at FDX.

A contract vote at 57% is still a "thin win" on the union's side, regardless of what the vote entails.

It's much, much closer to the 50.1% that management wants versus the 100% that the union should try to accomplish.

BTW, FDX wages rates are still 30% below what UA and DAL had A DECADE AGO.

I do applaud the attempt to get a deal that keeps things from stagnating, but at an eminently profitable company, there could have been a lot more easy little things cleaned up that weren't.

Apparently a majority think that it was enough. and they need to stand together and be ready for the re-opening of Sec. 6 with the need to address the new FT/DT that comes out soon. Who knows, maybe leadership feels they will have lots more leverage with FT/DT changes and really no leverage now, so they took what they could and will apply leverage with the now even higher numbers....IDK.

Bah, that's nothing. Because the -9 has been paid off for so long, it actually makes money going backward in time, and puts cash in the till retroactively, and can make a loss a gain back to the Wright Bros.

This one was pretty low, it was over Georgia Tech's stadium in downtown ATL...



... and the Navy responded with Pilots grounded for good after low flyover - Navy News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Navy Times

NORFOLK, Va. — Two F/A-18E Super Hornet pilots from Strike Fighter Squadron 136 have been permanently grounded for flying too low before a Georgia Tech football game Nov. 7, according to a source.
But if the Navy did that with the GT game what about that Navy game or was the because Annapolis isn't in the middle of a downtown?

But none of those are really that low, compared to this one below which not to spoil it but in case you don't hit play it's a Spitfire buzzing a reporter and you can try your hardest but that Spitfire had to be 5' off the deck for a long while because you won't see it coming.



But not to be outdone..



And to keep on topic, GO DELTA!

Wait, so the 9 doesn't have a flux detector but it has a flux capacitor?

So when they get struck by lighting, do they just disappear back in time? Makes sense, I mean look at this old picture from 1968! A DC-9 NO LESS!



Newk if you're ever struck just remember, bet big on the Steelers and Secretariat and stop the RJ revolution!

The youtube comments said it was the weekend before 9/11 so he might have been forgotten about.

That one probably even ended up at Delta. As I recall, all the -40s were former SAS airplanes.

They say that makes masterdebating way more effective.

So, a Delta DC-9 struck by lightning goes back to the 60s becomes an SAS DC-9, then a Delta DC-9, then it... fart.

See, I could have been the screen writer for LOST. Build up to this awesome climax and then when you realize you never actually had a point you just pass gas on the finale and see if people liked it.
