We should cherry pick best practices from all pilot groups, especially regionals, because they have the most experience dealing with scope issues. Doing things different than in the RJ world is PRECISELY what has placed us in the current position. It's longtime to get rid of the "FedEx way" mindset and embrace the experience from "RJ Capts" or move over and let them steer the ship now.

 

I also love the Block 1 and 2 folks trying to manipulate our council structure to do their bidding. First through ALPA national. Then through failed resolutions through our block reps.

Hey all, got some info for you. Our COUNCIL structure is that way for a reason. So all our garbage little bases of senior people can't rob the bank. It's like this way at several airlines and has been for decades. We aren't original and block reps vote with the interests of three Memphis blocks in mind or they will find themselves removed. It's very clear why it's set up this way. But the SM people will continue to claim it's corrupt.

Guess what - the council structure isn't the problem folks. It's people trying to get theirs on the back of our contract language. We still need to work here after you bail in a year.

 

Awesome, now do a ticker for when all the reps and Pat May said they would step down?

I will help you out, it was the day the TA failed ratification. Was their word not good enough to step down as they proudly proclaimed they would have?

p.s. There were over 500 old guard that said No. There was an equal number on probation who could not vote due to the rush to TA1. There is no old vs new. The true majority, not the sm type, said No. This majority was made up of folks up and down the MSL. It hurts the way you wanted this shoe to drop failed. It is time to move on or you can keep hurting your/our cause.

Facts!

 

Delivered to him via the last NC. Its obvious that the last NC went into TA1.0 with no real plan outside the pension bump, and proceeded to get rope-a-doped by management with pinkie swears and hushed promises of greater things if they just said yes and signed. I'd really love to know if PM even knew the pattern for which he was supposed to be bargaining. The fact was that not just TC, but a huge majority of rank and file MSL people all kind of went "WTF?" at the first examination.

Now, that TA1 team and the voters who installed him should have been very introspective. The fact that Fedex is now the most regional of the legacies, with subpar work rules, nearly decade old pay rates, laughably obsolete bidding systems and a raft of other things very wrong with our contract means, that even with large improvements in scope, we represent a sub-tier career option in the eyes of the industry. They own that failure through hubris and lack of preparation. All the while in the words of the SCPs, Fedex pilots operate in one of the most challenging operational environments in 121 aviation.

 

I would say the previous MC and NC put us on ice by bringing us garbage. That said, the NMB certainly views those guys as "us" even though the TA vote belied that notion.

 

Tony Ticker enthusasts also wear hats and blazers.

 

…and their posts here are typically filled with the words “I,” “me,” “my,” and “mine.”

 

And “pension.” And “this is how we’ve always done it.” And “you’ll get furloughed if you go to a legacy…” it’s nauseating.

 

And "Tony tickler." And "NMB will never release us." And "get off my lawn." 😀😂😉

 

From the new cry baby TC/FB crowd,

We are going to show you how tough we were at the regionals or ACMI (got your asses handed to you)

We want QOL!!! ( you got it 53 hours of credit/work for 85 hours of pay)

Get off my mother lawn! ( as you look out the window of your mothers basement)

We showed the NMB and mediator who's in control (Bahha)

We have leverage!( we did when you were bragging about making $300K on second year flying extra during negotiations)

post filled with you got yours move on and make room for the new tough guys. We want a contract that covers me until I retire in 30 years. I do not care about you and only about me! My mother said I was the best and I can prove it by all of my participation trophies!

Everything you guys post on here in nauseating
