Ok, so I can't question their comments since their comments are about FedEx? If this person is a moderator, fine, all comments are welcomed, but and I am a FedEx pilot. We are talking about this moderator who will not be affected by the passing of our TA.



Its sad that you have to feel the need to put someone down when you could get your point across in another way. Its an anonymous forum, I guess you can trash on whomever you want. If you think crapping on me is good, then ok. Its not an issue with me. If you have a valid point you'd like to discuss, I'm open to it. I didn't dis on Vagabond, I think I just stated a valid point about Vagabond's post. So lets see what this is about. A moderator posted comment about a company they don't work for. OK.



I don't work at FedEx



Heres' the first part of Vagabonds' post. I don't work at Fed Ex.. Need I say more? And bona fides? You got me on that one.


All she did was provide a personal opinion on his personality and character. And the topic is about him running as a block rep, not the TA. I don't see any problem with it.

Nor do I. I think anyone has the right to post here, particularly if they identify themselves, and she has probably read through more of his posts than the rest of us. I might stop reading after the first sentence.....;)

One can choose to listen to another's opinion, or not.

You're Correct, she doesn't work for FedEx
She is a APC Moderator and has been on these forums for years.
She doesn't hide behind her Screen name anon.
She is a successful Attorney.
She is darn sharp and she likes Pilots, even me :)
Based on her posts and personal conversations with her, she is a pretty good judge of Character.

You don't have to vote for TC but do not discount Vagabond's opinion on anything.
BTW how many Screen names who post on here pretend to be FedEx "LINE" Pilots? or pretend to work here?

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

To all members out there, here is another question.........if the TA is voted down how will we pay for more negotiations? The way I read our finances we are low,low,low on funds. So what......assessments??? How big ? How long? Whose hand do I feel creeping into my pocket?


Greg, it looks like your dog was just startled out of a deep sleep and is now barking at his shadow and chasing his tail. Trying to scare people into voting Yes because we're out of money is pretty lame. Can we have some facts, please?


The Special MEC Reserve Account (SMRA, pronounced "smur") is down to less than $2 million, down from somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million. That's one of the consequences of stretching negotiations across a bridge from the amendable date of our 2006 CBA until now, and it involves a lot of flight pay loss for the entourage. I think there needs to be an accounting for that money, but since it was under the administration you favor, I wonder if you even care how they spent it. Do you?

.....yes those funds from ALPA national ARE available on a REPAYABLE BASIS so the question remains ......how do we pay for this? .......feeling that hand in my pocket......


I don't know what you feel in your pocket, but you have your facts wrong here. The ALPA National Major Contingency Fund (MCF) can be accessed through loans or grants. We would seek and likely receive grants. We've already paid into it.

and what exactly of that goes to negotiations funding?


The first 0.35% of your dues money goes directly into the SMRA.

Are you guys KIDDING ME!!!! No plan, no answers, no financials, a big shrug when asked what are our current allocations to negotiating and how we will pay. If voted down
!!!! SERIOUSLY?


I didn't hear you asking these questions when your boy was in the head shed. Your shrill cries now are not going to spook people into voting Yes. We have responsible individuals watching the purse strings now, and there will be no problem financing whatever efforts are required to win us the TA we deserve, and we DO deserve much better than this.



I'll address the untruths and smears about me personally after the TA vote closes. Just remember, when you know it to be false and you publish it anyway for the specific purpose of besmirching another's character, there's a legal term that applies.

Vagabond, I apologize if I have made in appropriate comments about your post. I should have thought a little longer before posting my opinion. Please accept my apology. But if you are an outsider, your opinion is going to be questioned.

I'm the same total jerk like you who can hide on a forum. Really, an outsider supporting a guy running for LEC rep? Okay, I hope every kindergarten class starts posting here. You are right.

Yeah, my comments will really impact who posts here. That funny.

I totally understand your sentiment. Lately we have had a number of trolls, people pretending to be FedEx pilots, and non FedEx'ers posting. It can take awhile to determine who is who, I have no problem with non FedEx pilots posting, it's just the ones who pretend they are, irritate me. You just haven't read enough of Vagabonds posts to realize that she is a beloved, and respected poster. Though obviously you realized it after everyone jumped on you.... good on you to apologize.

Rog, Again, my apologizes to Vagabond. Sorry, just feel you need some credibility to comment honestly on the FedEx issues. Got it.

It's called SA, Viper. You went to the merge without it.
