-losing.

ps. When the contract is up for vote, No doesn’t start with a Y. Make sure to click on the section that says No and not yes.

Gee I wonder when the company says, sign this concessionary contract and you’ll get xyz replacements aircraft. Like a broke record.

Of course it doesn't. What a coincidence that the doom and gloom has begun at the same time negotiations are getting heated, strike vote is looming, company digging in their heels, etc.
Don't fall for the BS.
What does it cost to put out an email with dire predictions and talk of a "realignment bid"?
What does it cost to actually publish said bid?
The same thing it costs to cancel that bid.
Or let the bid happen and throw everyone into a tizzy, especially all the recent arrivals since 2015 who have had wonderful advancement and unicorns and rainbows. The company would love to stomp on their privates a bit and try to reduce their willingness to fight.
Maybe the bid stands, maybe it doesn't. But either way, if you're wringing your hands and worrying about the future of FedEx, you're spending less time backing ALPA and doing what's necessary to get us the contract we deserve.

what? We will be plus 19 on new aircraft. The atlas 747 are gone past June, there are 32 of those beasts hauling our freight and an atlas pilot base in Memphis is about to close. That is great news and am sure those guys cost a fortune to contract especially with our trunk aircraft sitting idle along with the crews. This was a good message from JB. Numbers and facts. Express is the heartbeat of this organization.I am actually surprised, I thought we were doomed. If any of you can recal that bs that dd used to send out? I remember his last one on Christmas Eve, yeah, it was priceless. It’s why they canned that dude. Ineffective and out of touch.

also, teamsters are going on strike and we took many long term contracts from browns customers. ESG sentiment is way up, earnings up, stock up, dividend up. 5 April the investors don’t want to hear about a FedEx pilot strike…. Especially while our execs are toughting the brown out…. We have all the advantage right now….

I remember when we were excited that we negotiated great A380 rates and voted in that contract. I also remember after signing where those orders were soon cancelled and FedEx ordered shinny new 777's and then decided to pay us at book wide body rates and not 380 rates. I remember APLA saying that's not what was in the negotiation notes and filing a grievance about pay rates that we lost.

FedEx holds all the cards and knows the plan, you only hear what they want you to hear.

I remember when I got hiredfolks were saying how if you bid the A300 you could get a sweet deal when they got parked in a couple years….that’s was more than 5+ years ago.

What did the negotiation notes say?
