It is so obvious you are NoWork. Lick the Cheeto dust off you fingers and head upstairs from the basement, your mom is calling you to dinner.

Ill have a go
No improvement in retirement
the lay flat seat debacle
gave up pass over pay
secondary line generator “never built”
Didn’t fix known scheduling shenanigans
Allowed In policies that allowed more secondary lines essentially mini PBS
did not fix established fares
This is just off the top of my head

That's a good summation. I would add:

- Pay increases were too low (it was basically nothing more than a COLA - not an actual raise)
- International hotel in lieu of deadhead gutted
- Sick call policy unchanged
- No real time trip trading
- Open time/insufficient reserves abuse not fixed
- A continuation of extra benefits for people of a certain age offered to ensure enough "yes" votes - this paradigm of "its my turn - where's my cookie?" needs to be broken (and I am saying that as one who is "that age" now).

There's more, we could keep going. Just look at all of the posts from that time period where we were trying to counter the Kronan, FXLag, and AlbieF15 sales job.

We also have the absolute worst system bids and training bids in the industry. The. Absolute. Worst.

Pretty sad considering the sacrifices fedex pilots made the last few years while everyone else sat at home with full pay and the company spent $5 billion on stock buybacks and is now trying to cry poor despite making billions.
id say NC and MEC content with well under DL - that’s why they keep preaching this “look at TA entirely” . Numbers I’m hearing they would like is above $385

I had the exact same reaction. Very disappointing.

I agree. Either that, or management. Definitely not a FedEx pilot, and not Nowork, someone else.

From 9/28/22 NC update

Pilots are unified on more than just retirement. From top to bottom, you need to see other meaningful improvements to our contract, including industry leading pay rates and Quality of Life items. This has been a pilot-driven agenda from day one”

industry leading pay rates. Pilot driven agenda.

nothing has changed from where I sit
