Because I did as much research on FedEx and it's pilot contract before I got hired as I did after I got hired. Everything I know I got from JF. So I am an expert.

I must admit, I didn’t. I didn’t know SOP here was to help the company slowly chip away at the CBA in exchange for pay increases that didn’t even keep up with inflation. Glad we’re changing that.

No way the MEC Chairman works for and at the direction of the MEC not the other way around and yes it's in the bylaws and that's the way it should be.

No problem. You can just decide to not take any of your vacation and bid a student line and work a shotgun line of the worst of the worst trips that still remain in view/add and you just *might* make more than your DL and UA bros and still get that “fat”pension benefit (lol). Most valuable TA of all time!!!

What a joke. There was nothing in that TA to build upon. It was just yet another stage of the dismantling of our CBA. So glad these company-plants don’t have control of our MEC anymore.
Pilots earned a retirement fix also, as do we deserve industry pay and scope fixed.
