Fedex Disputed Pairings

[PastV1]

You can trade off on a holiday trip but you can not trade a carryover trip. The reason for this is that there is no "Max Open" (FWIW) for the carryover days until the following months open time is released. If someone did I'd be making a few phone calls.

Who Cares!

Good for him if he managed to find a way out of working Christmas, but . . . he's truly a $hitbird for picking up a disputed pairing! When it comes down to the short hairs (negotiations) guys like this worry me -- I would bet he'll cave.

Since all I saw was this:

FoxHunterThis user is on your Ignore List.

But you quoted him thusly:

My guess is that you forget about your family and your kids and have NO Buds!

You selfish SOB

I had to read what it wrote.

I'm not agreeing with the cheap, useless wank, however, like I said before, all bets are off on Christmas and if you think guys are going to consult the disputed pairing list when trying to get off on Christmas, you're nuttier than my Aunt Arletta's fruitcake. I do like the conspiracy angle though. I say run with it and if you can prove it on paper, let the union see it.

I just flew with a guy who was so surprised that this famous disputed pairing was still around.

DUH! It's because people keep flying it!!!!!!!!!!!!

You selfish SOB

You've got it wrong again in so many ways. Hope you had a nice weekend with your buds.

Negotiations???? Did you say negotiations? Funny you should bring that up...

The only negotiations I am aware of are between the union and the company. The only people voting on a revised contract are union members. The only people asked about their preferences are union members.

You, along with about 3 percent of the pilot population, have voluntarily removed yourself from the negotiation process. In doing so you have chosen to allow your voice to be unheard, at least as far as the union negotiating team is concerned. You are not part of the collective barganing process. You have no vote for the revised contract. You have no say in its outcome. You might as well be a ramp agent for all the impact your opinion will make on the outcome of OUR contract negotiations.

If we have to enter self help you are not invited. Not only do I not expect you to participate, you are not allowed to participate. You are not part of this event.

I won't talk about the negotiations with people who have no say in its construction or ratification. If it is brought up by anyone but a union member (ramp agent, non-member pilot, or neighbor), then my response is the same....I dont want to discuss OUR negotiations with outsiders.

Just sit back and enjoy your ride. This doesn't concern you.

Excellent precision, not so much on the accuracy... FoxHunter is the one you're thinking of, not Fox3 (who mentioned negotiations)

Ooooops. Looks like it's time for a mediated debrief for another blue on blue. Poor Fox3, he had so much to live for...

Next time, aim for the angry old guy with a change purse and wallet on a chain.

How come Polar SETTLED for a 10% raise and your rocket scientists on your MEC/NC OPENED with an 8% raise? Do you FedEx pilots realize how much money you are leaving on the table? And don't give me the line that all you want is scope, retirement, scheduling, and insurance. We are going to get those things too plus a sizable raise, although not as sizable as we were going to get thanks to you guys. I guess ALPA national told you guys that the airline industry is in a bad way and that you shouldn't expect a sizable pay raise. Just wait till Fred tells you guys that if you want scope then you will have to give up your commercial deadheads.
