AMEN. Tony never buys a drink in my presence! He was right in 2010. He was right in 2015. And you bet your a55, he’s right now!

 

Another infiltrator 🙄. $325k * 2% * 25 = $162,500. That is what the other Fedex guys are saying, a paltry $32,500/year increase.

 

OK I have to chime in after reading all this misinformation, whining, and MEC/ALPA bashing.
These are my points, like it or not the silent majority must speak out!!!!
1. My New Hire pay was $2000.00 a month and I was happy and proud to be at FedEx. This TA raises it to 6 to 8K a month. Quit whining!
2. I know MEC leadership personally and know the did the absolute best they could and better than any of you naysayers could have done!
3. I will definitely be a YES vote and hope all you uninformed naysayers will be educated over the next month or so and also vote YES.
4. I am happy with the retirement improvements and Pay increases. I know of an Airline that got a true industry leading contract in 2000 and shortly after that went bankrupt! Is that what you want for FedEx?
5. R24 to R16. We didn’t even have R24 before 2015 contract, so be happy that we still have some form of it.
This may have ruffled a few feathers, that’s good you all need to wake up and realize that this TA is a light year ahead of the 2015 contract and be happy and thankful for all the hard work PM and the MEC put into it.
YES YES YES!!

 

Scope might not have surveyed over the past 2 years, but that doesn't mean go ahead and give away the store! Holding the line on scope would have been the MINIMUM that should have been negotiated. Giving concessions on scope, particularly the fact that they can wet lease while pilots are on furlough, is unconscionable. There are many things that are unconscionable in this TA, Scope is the most egregious. I don't care how many folks have to retire under the current CBA (I am one of them) there is no way I would agree to this TA and screw the pilot group for years to come just to give them a little bump on their way out the door.

This TA is shameful.

I will be a NO vote.

 

Council 26 just put out a message today listing scope under “QOL Improvements & Job Protections”

I honestly don’t understand how one could read that as a win??

 

Yes, I quoted that email in a post in the TA thread an hour ago. Really makes you wonder what these guys are thinking. How can you call that an improvement? Only in an insane world.
