Maybe, maybe not. That's life sir. You don't always get what you want.

I hope that someone isn't identifying themselves and the other 100 pilots as FedEx employees in this "open letter". That seems like it could turn into a sh!t show.
Somehow I don't think FedEx is going to appreciate a group of their employees collectively demanding personal benefits based on services paid for with FedEx money by employees on FedEx business from a third party corporation that also offers a discount on those services as a result of a mutually beneficial business relationship. But hey, maybe I'm out to lunch (actually I hope I am). It's not like FedEx has a history of being highly protective of their corporate image and taking measures against their employees whose actions have threatened that image.

I don't believe Corp Trav gives us any discount on UA booking throught them versus the rates you get by booking direclty on the UA website. The last few times I've checked, the CorpTrav refundable fare was identical to the fully refundable fare posted on UA website. When I checked on a ticked in December, I was able to buy it direclty on UA with my corp card for about $900 cheaper than what CorpTrav quoted me.

I beleive UAL want's about $1250 spend per segment in a calendar year with a minumum of 50K in spend (depends where you fly from) to get invited to GS. I think it's BS that they choose not to include FEDEX pilots who have 75K+ in spend a year. I will do a stauts match with DAL and tell UAL to pound sand.

I wish more would but they do not care. There are @100 of you. This is laughable when you look at the numbers.

"Open Letter"? That will show them. The "letter" thats sent to no one put posted on social media that no one cares about?

I beg to differ. You get it linked to UA's social media and they will care. They care about social media more than any airline by far.

DAL Business class soft and hard product are terrible. FYI. Good domestic. Terrible Intl. Go fly there A330-200 and get back to us.

It worked when a bunch of us lowly 1k members raised a fuss when they were shorting us rewards points a few years ago. Why are some so negative towards others that are trying to improve life for everyone??

Because he's smarter than you and his opinion is better than yours and he must broadcast his opinion of what other people are doing that has zero negative impact on his life because, well, he's smarter than you and his opinion is better than yours. That and nobody gets the well-deserved ostracization for being a douche in public or the well-deserved pop in the schnozz anymore with the anonymity of being a Keyboard Warrior. But I'm sure your question was just hypothetical.
