How about the union just put some brakes on.
I have yet to meet one pilot outside of the MEC/LEC that is interested in the new plan.
With the new tax plan that was just voted in, FedEx will see an increase in earnings of $1.5B.
They could afford improving our plan before, and now they most definitely can.

You have discovered the portal for the 12 most self-centered FedEx pilots that have all of the answers but just so happen to never agree with the other 4650 pilots. Good luck!!

As with any company, any individual (or collective group of employees) must directly or indirectly negotiate their wages
Of course, this applies to FedEx as well. They must compete to retain their employees
The ultimate equilibrium/division of profits between management, ALL employees and share holders is always a nuanced, multi-faceted discussion
Bottom line, we fully appreciate and value other employees, but have no say in their compensation.

Nice first post. Im sorry, this board is about and for pilots. Period. We are discussing our futures. Not the other employees of FedEx, or the post man, the cashier at the store.....
Get real
And Merry Christmas

Mr Opus,
It appears as though you do not have a horse in this race. I am simply pointing out that I want the union to slow down the pursuit of changing our retirement. The tax savings provided through the new law was just another example to the union on why their idea may not be the best. I appreciate all of the employees at FedEx who work hard to help this company be as successful as it is. I would suggest that you direct your remarks to the people that can improve your wages and quality of life that will be possible by the new law.

I would have been happy to believe your statement but then the post below contradicts...

Profit Sharing
As long as we’re talking about diversifying the eggs in the basket... what’s the consensus on profit sharing? With at least four of the major passenger carriers in the game, should we think about adding this extra leg to our retirement stool? It’s been a nice 10-20% addition for some companies. Definitely not chump change. Even the possibility to direct this money towards retirement accounts. Thoughts?
