The reason you're not getting the answer here is because it's none of your damn business what he gets from his FedEx retirement.


Tell ya what, though. Since you're so intent on knowing, why don't you climb out from behind your screen name and shoot Joe an e-mail. You can ask him directly and get it straight from the horse's mouth. I'm pretty sure he'll politely tell you, It's none of your damn business.

Go for it. The procedure is in the Constitution & By-Laws. Good luck. Oh, and if you need help with the math, ... oh, never mind.

There aren't. He's entitled to his airline pension, and his ALPA salary.


Hmm, could there be some airline retirement envy going on here?

Tony, ALPA had a very attractive Pension and benefit package in 2003. Actually a lot better than a line pilot. Can’t recall how I got this copy. If things are still the same Joe will have two pensions, FedEx and ALPA.

Indeed, he will have two pensions when he leaves the ALPA President job. That's in the future.

Presently, he has no ALPA pension to collect, and he has deferred his FedEx pension. He is only receiving his ALPA President salary.

No double dipping.


(Unless he's secretly receiving a pension from APC (Amalgamated Paper Carriers) for that paper route he had when he was a kid. )

Exactly!!! So why did you and your ilk decide to try to stir up trouble on an anonymous forum instead of handling it face to face at a meeting. The answer is obvious.

I'm out on a trip WITHOUT my contract mandated CAKE. First world problems.


And to all you Delta/UAL guys coming on here to bad mouth Pete. FU and the horse you rode in on. We didn't ***** and whine all those many years when the Passenger weenies were running the show and couldn't give a Duck about US cargo guys...well....except for our $$$.



He's taking what he has earned as a FDX employee, nothing you can say or do about it....


Christ...what a bunch or prima-donna's..

Why would he get an ALPA pension?

Because that's part of the benefit package they voted on, years ago.

Of all elected representatives at all levels, the ALPA President is the only one who is an employee of ALPA, paid by ALPA and not the respective airline. The salary and pension are all part of the package determined by the Board of Directors (that is, all of the MEC Reps).

This arrangement insulates the President from a particular allegiance or threat of being fired, and allows him to focus on his job of serving all pilots. In fact, he's not even required to be a pilot at all.

You may have noticed ALPA and his former employer don't exactly agree on some fundamental strategic issues like ME3. It's better this way.

Why should he give up a benefit he earned under our contract? It costs ALPA members nothing. Because it makes you feel better?

Well I would feel better if you gave me your B fund. That makes about as much sense as your nonsensical whining.

What do you lose by having him receive a benefit he earned and FEDEX pilots negotiated for? What do you gain? The answer to both questions is the same. Nothing!

Where, as an ALPA member, can I find that info?
