Did Joe DePete retire? (FedEx)
Word from the DL MEC meeting is that Joe DePete retired from FDX on Dec 31 and deferred his pension until the end of his ALPA President term, thus eventually collecting 2 pensions... Can anyone speak to any validity of this?

He played every ALPA Pilot like a fool and is now double dipping. In my opinion, the only reason he ran.
The ultimate greedy politician.
He needs to resign or be recalled.

The better question is why are the rules written so that you get two pensions if you do what he supposedly did.
If I retired from the Navy at 15 years and left for Delta, I'm not getting my Navy retirement. I know he's probably vested in FedEx at this point, but I'm not getting why there are two pensions.
