Besides you never take the first offer, we are in the drivers seat, ie "peak". Even with all the spin , the reality is this TA is crap. I don't even know where to start. Pay, Bonus, Health Benefits, Sick, Substitution, Commuting, Uniforms $50, are you kidding, an extra shirt to spill coffee on! I'm afraid this crew force does not have the balls to say no, and that is a shame. I will look back and say, told ya so!
We are all tired and frustrated to be sure, but FedEx knows that, don't be swayed. Talk to people who know real numbers and then make up your mind. Get involved.
What do u think SLAB will do for your senority? Nothing. We need to move forward even more focused and united. We can get the contract we deserve. VOTE NO

Before you assassinate our NC Chairman, look in the mirror or have your peers look in the mirror. How many VBB requests were sent in the latest solicitation? How many in the past year? How many are making their personal choice to enjoy Free days off?


Yoko, I'm with you. I'm disappointed too, but its the 4200 Pilots who will get the contract, not 1 or 2 sitting at the table.

Exactly. The NC got everything they could from the Company this round. It's a low ball offer and they're waiting to see if we will take it. It's up to us as a pilot group to show the Company and the MEC that we will not settle, and that we have the resolve to do what it takes to get the contract we deserve.

I didn't.

I didn't.

What would you expect them to say? "I negotiated an awful deal and left millions on the table?" Seriously?
