Fedex Disputed Pairings

[Deuce130]

If anyone wants to know his name or employee # PM me.

What are we gonna do? Kneecap him? Send someone to pay him a little visit? Isn't there a way to address this issue besides acting like we're in junior high? Don't we have union reps for each employee block who can handle this one on one?

Well I wouldn't go up and pat him/her on the back, go to the cafateria for "breakfast" or spend anytime during a layover with someone like that. Far from beating up someone....I agree, this isn't junior high.

But I don't think it's okay to get buddy-buddy with the pilots screwing the efforts of the SIG , MEC, etc....

I vote for the kneecap option! But that's just me.

Your right we do have Union Reps for this stuff. I called the SIG today and asked him what he was doing about guys like this, and he said that they are trying to educate these guys. He told me to email the individual myself.

No $hit. Really? Email them ourselves? If they want guys doing that, why are they making a stink about their names being put out on a list and hung up in the AOC. So a few names are put on the list that shouldn't be there. Call it "acceptable collateral damage".

I'd get a second opinion on that one before you start harassing guys over company email.

I did notice, this morning, that a few more of those trips are gone.

So, what's better for kneecapping? Wood or aluminum?

It is really personal perference. Aluminum doesn't break, but just doesn't sound as good as wood. Plus, if the wood breaks, you have a splintered stick to poke them with.

Just talked to the SIG and he said that the Disputed pairing for Jan, (MEM-EWR-FRA) has gone away. Looks like we won this one.

Now you get to do EWR-FRA-CDG.

 

[sandman2122]

Just in case any FedEx guys didn't know - FoxHunter is a ALPA non-member free loader.

So his posts about ANY union issues or anything in general, are worthless.

About the kneecapping, heard a .45 ACP fired from behind the the knee (point blank) will just about assure the individual will have a limp.

Eddie Murphy in 48hrs " You wanna a limp too?"

{kidding for all those that take this too seriously}

Strange how we have no disputed pairing in Anchorage this month, Oh thats right because we dont fly them up here... So they ship them to Memphis with a deadhead on them because they will find all kinds of loosers down there to fly them...

 

[Huck]

2 posts ... I predict a long and successful run here....

 

[VaB]

because they will find all kinds of loosers down there to fly them...

Yeah, all us "loose" guys down here are always looking for ways to fill our days off. It's cause we're so loose and easy going.

Now, excuse me, while I go pick up some trips at straight time just to upset the ANC guys.

He has a point, though.

He has a point, though.

And what point might that be? That there are more than 5 times the number of MD11 guys in Memphis compared to Anchorage, which makes the trips easier to cover? So it would make sense for them to bring the trips to Memphis. Or something else I'm not smart enough to pickup?

I'm not condoning guys grabbing the trips or anything, but to assume that the MEM guys are "loosers" and the ANC guys are the $hit is stupid.

Disclaimer- I'm not defending the company or guys that pick up disputed pairings.
