Here we go FedEx guys...

I hope you guys are happy with your current pay because on the fedexlabortalks.com home page there is a picture of you guys holding signs with your issues on them. There is no sign for pay. Is that to suggest you are happy with your current pay and are not seeking an increase?

I actually believe that we need to give back to the company in the form of pay cuts and more work days to help bring them back from the brink of bankruptcy. . .

It concerns me that the company is offering pay INCREASES in times like these. . . .

I agree, both of our pilot groups need to be sensitive to the plight at the passenger carriers and not ask for raises in this time of crisis for the airlines.

The four cornerstone issues represent an acknowledgement of the collective will of the pilot force and a recognition that a boost in pay rates can be quickly washed out with other rule changes. The Company already tried once to circumvent the process by offering a simple increase in pay rates and a signing bonus, while changing no part of the current CBA.

We are concerned about the erosion of Health Care benefits, the attack on our Retirement security, the threat of Scope attacks, and the Work Rules that become more and more onerous each time the Optimizer tweaks the schedule. These are the issues that must be settled before we even begin to talk about pay rates.

Go back and click on that picture and do a little reading - - they do a good job of explaining the issues.

Our Company seems to disagree with your sentiment. You see, the market forces facing our employer have resulted in record profits quarter after quarter after quarter, yet the employees have been quite insulated from any sort of increased pay or benefit.


Do you think we should ask for a pay cut because some airlines are in bankruptcy?

Perhaps TDTURBO can perform an "adjustment" to relieve your malady.

[SWPA Pilot]

It is perfectly acceptable to fly draft, AVA, or sell back your vacation. Build up your war chest now. Anyone saying to "tell all your buddies not to" on a crew bus is starting their own agenda. (Of course, ALPA cannot tell you not to do these things- that would be illegal and open us to being sued and fined. However, I asked my P2P ALPA guy specifially/ He said build up that war chest now and that is was more than ok.)

You had 18 months to build up your war chest! Now, push is coming to shove. Are you telling me you weren't insulted by the press release? Were you at the meeting at the hub last night? They obviously can't say not to fly draft, ava or to sell back vacation, but they made it know is subtle tones that a little pressure could have this finished up sooner rather than later. Please, restrain yourself from flying that draft trip. Get the contract signed, and then work all the overtime you want under a better contract.

Has anyone tried responding to Rebholz's email? Telling him what to do with his great offer.

Or maybe just send it back with a note that says "Please forward this to my union".

They're into the later chapters of the book now.
