They did float a trial ballon and attempted to have FedEx removed from the RLA. Never even got out of committee let alone to either floor for a vote. Fred Smith and the ATA pulled out all the stops including canceling every Boeing aircraft he had on order if it were passed.

Sure, I get the anti-ALPA bias of APC "management". Silly me, I had confidence that truth would triumph over emotion. Let the rants continue, fairness be damned.


I know I can count on Moderators to correct my spelling errors. :rolleyes:

I had an FO recently whom I was humbled by. He was an amazing pilot with an unfortunate career. He flew for several big named carriers who went under over the years. It was a real pleasure to fly with him. I was angered though at the fact someone with more experience in aviation than most of my other FO's have been alive, was making so little money. He is worth so much more. To be lumped in with a bunch of recent Riddle grads when it comes to pay is an insult to his experience.

Why so many of you thick headed morons are against longevity recognition is beyond me. When I explain to friends outside the industry how our pay system works, they think we are insane. They are right. So many of you buy into the "that's the way it's always been" mentality. People who think like that are the problem. Most of us will be in the position of starting over at some point. How about getting in line with other union labor pay practices already.

PAC money, is that why there is an almost $400,000 pay difference between the highest paid, and lowest paid ALPA pilot? What other industry has that kind of disparity between workers who do the exact same job?
