They told me at the meetings that I wouldn't be cured until I'm dead. . .

This web site is like a three car pileup with bodies still hanging halfway out of the wreckage - I feel bad as I slow down to look, and I feel bad after I've looked - but d a m n it, I still look. . .

Well, let me be the first to go on record as a NO vote . . .

I've been raking in the cash over the last 18 months while y'all were in negotiations flying VLT, DRF, and AVA. . . .

I guess the gravy train has officially stopped for four more years. . .

The difference is that I'm already on the seniority list and will have five more years to fly around in the left seat of the A380 (or A410 or A450).

So if I jumpseat, I guess a parachute would be a prudent purchase . . . .

Your intentions are admirable, but you will always be the "man" that shows up in your own personal crew bus, freshly pressed white shirt, and sits in the warm, dry cockpit while they load the plane in the cold, harsh outdoors. Do you think it's an accident that the company has us picked up...

Honestly, I could care less what the locals / other workers "say" or "think" about me. If they are being "downtrodden by the man" and slinging hash for a living, well; it sucks to be them. Life is not fair.

If you are so concerned about what other people "think" about us, then...

I'll have to second EchoPapa's post. I find it funny that FedEx writes letters for the Commercial Appeal whining about our pay when less than 25% of the pilots live in MEM, and an even smaller percentage of THAT 25% even read that rag. My neighbors all know I fly for FedEx, but don't...

What you guys don't realize is that FedEx and UPS pilots provide a truly vital service to the U.S. and world economy - if those boxes don't move the country nosedives into recession.

However, if all the passenger airlines stopped flying for two weeks, the only effect would be a slight...

I let Uncle Sam spend his hard earned dollars for my college and flight training, so I would have no problems going to that outfit. Where do I sign up??

I think it is irresponsible for the pilots to be asking for a pay raise during this time of upheaval in the industry. If only FDX-ALPA would have gone to management and asked "What can we do to help?", we would have a contract by now and perhaps the company wouldn't be facing such a dire...

If the definition of a major airline is $1 billion dollars of revenue per year; but they lose $3 billion per year, are they still a major??
