The reality is the time value of money has left us in the dust. TA23 pay rates in 2025 would have paid back on average $50,000 returns in the 2025 401k market. These things keep compounding. People crying about student lines and scope. The company moved AIr Freight from jets off the HUB into TRUCKS during peak. They can kick our a$$ aanyday they want. WAKE UP PILOTS! We are not the integral part of this operation that we have artificially and psychologically created in our minds. So, anyways, even if the TA2? is a big STEAMER it will PASS. And on the crew bus or in the CAN executive lounge or pouring a hot cup of ROAR you'll hear 90% Voted NO. Reality? It will pass at a MINIMUM 60-40

Look at the percentages of pass fail by block. The junior folks were more likely to vote against the TA. Junior folks are leaving and that is historic.

I agree, FedEx pilots are not as integral to the brand today. If they can truck it, they will. And when they can contract our international flights, which the CBA allows, they will.

There were a fairly large number of block one that voted no. A lot of then figured we would have a new TA in a year. I doubt many will vote no on the next TA.

The yes voters are the ones that have retired. The no voters thought we would have a contract two years ago. Now they are getting close.

A bunch of the junior no voters bailed out.

You think all of the 500 junior pilots, who were on probation and couldn't vote during TA23, have left? I'll bet that if TA23 were voted on today, it would fail by over 70%.
