Yes, exactly, 100% correct.

When we were sold the move from FPA to ALPA, we were promised that we would have much better lawyers and support during negotiations, and that the pilots would be better represented, so the company wouldn't be able to pull the wool over our eyes.

I am still waiting for better lawyers and support from ALPA.

Yes. .

I'm thinking some might consider a small pension adjustment if we got an extremely good profit sharing plan. Something like Delta's plan.

Profits can, and are, manipulated.

The only change I am interested in is increase in my A fund payment.

Raise the high 5, or raise the multiplier.

I am too old to benefit from an increase in B fund.

You would have to come up with something that benefits both the old and young, so it is fair to both age groups. Don't screw the young to help the old, and don't do the reverse either.

I don't have a military retirement. Too many of us do, so they don't care as much about the retirement from FedEx of those of us that don't.

Some wanted to...

...Then the lynch mob showed up.

It means we are going to get screwed again in some way, shape or form.

We had leverage and didn't use it. ALPA let me down.

Well said!

So, the lynch mob kept us from determining if the company's figures were accurate, concerning an increase in the A plan? Hardly! Thank God our NC didn't come up with some frozen A plan scheme, or who knows what based on what they thought they knew...This is unbelievable.

It's truly ridiculous, that we are just NOW going to do our due diligence! And seriously, could this not possibly prove that the lawsuit against ALPA has merit.:mad:

I have zero faith that Alpa will negotiate something that is fair for every pilot on property. They will probably forward a low ball offer for a vote. We will have 57% who say that was" the best we could get" or "we had no leverage."

This is a stand alone item. We're not in negotiations, we're not delaying raises or contract benefits. It will be easy for every single pilot to judge the merits of changing this. Why would we accept anything short of better than what we have? The company is prosperous, and there is no reason to accept anything except for improvements, so why would we do otherwise?
