Incident shows why FedEx pilots should make $250K

[TonyC]

Tony I always thought you were an all American honest boy. Anyway enough of that nonsense here's a pic of Crystal, you asked me awhile back how she was looking, (probably her best pic)

Well, I was just teasin'...


But it appears that you've upped the teasin' ante with that picture.

Resolution. Finally.

This thread has finally convinced me that I'll never work for FedEx.

Third tier bottom feeder for life and frickin' proud of it.

FedEx is a strong ALPA carrier, and I imagine that must make you a bit uncomfortable. How are things at Atlas these days? We're rooting for you guys!






It was a beautiful day in Memphis. The turnout at The Peabody was tremendous. We had picketers walking the sidewalks all around the hotel. Two-thirds of the stockholders in attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting were pilots. Watching Fred Smith squirm and turn red in the face was worth every minute of it.

Once the meeting was over, we joined the rest of the gang at the AOC - - we had the sidewalk jammed with smiling faces and picket signs.



All in all, it was a very good day for the professional pilot.

[SWA/FO]

"strong" and ALPA used in the same sentence? Now that weird!

You forgot to mention the "supporter" in the orange shirt with the cast on his leg. He made the day worth it.

So you were on the east side of the Peabody with me, huh?

Yeah, the village idiot was indeed entertaining.

Tony,
Will this result in a new avatar picture for ya?

Me? Uncomfortable?

I get it. There's no need to be subtle. You think I'm just chompin' at the bit to cross a Polar picket line.

I guess you don't realize I have friends at Polar. Who could fault you?

Things at Atlas are fine. I don't understand why you're "rooting" for us. The Polar guys are really the ones who need everyone's support.

Good luck with your ALPA deal. I hope everything works out.

If they had allowed cameras...

You don't expect me to give you a hug when you slam FedEx, do ya?



I'm sorry that you don't understand why we're rooting for you. We've been rooting for the pilots at Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings all along, and that includes the pilots at Atlas Air, Inc. and Polar Air Cargo, Inc. The pilots of Polar are clearly in self-help, and we obviously root for them. The pilots of Atlas are in a more complicated situation and difficult position, not being released to self-help, but being so closely tied to the pilots of Polar and the outcome of their contract negotiations. If ever there were a classic opportunity to whipsaw two employee groups, your company is it. We've been rooting for the pilots of Atlas Air, Inc. to do the right thing with respect to their fellow employees of AAWH, Inc. and fellow ALPA brethren. Now that the Atlas MEC has taken steps to affirm that Atlas pilots will not cross Polar picket lines, we continue to root for the pilots of Polar and Atlas.


Why? Since I'm not a pilot for either company, why do I care? I care because it's my industry, and what happens to you and your friends at Polar will have a direct impact on my career. Like it or not, acknowledge it or not, we are ALL in this together. If you fall flat on your faces, it will have a negative impact in the negotiating sessions at FedEx. And if you stand up for what is right, we will benefit from your fight.



Now, what is it you have against FedEx?

Dam this medium.

Look Tony. This thread was started in a fairly sarcastic vein. I was merely playing along to a certain extent.

I do have have a fairly pronounced bias against smugness which I perceive to be endemic to the FedEx group of freight dogs.

Formerly, the Kings of Smug were United but recently they've been brought to their knees and are a wee more humble these days.

With respect to the Atlas/Polar situation: I don't think this is the forum (or even the proper medium to seriously discuss what's happening).

I will say this: I was hired to fly Atlas aircraft and the company has asked nothing more of me.

I suppose I should thank you for your support but as far as I'm concerned it's a bit misplaced. As everyone agrees, it's Polar that deserves the support--exclusively.

Just a personal opinion, but I don't believe there will be any whipsaw. That's just union rhetoric.

And speaking of rhetoric, one really needs to filter the noise coming from AAWWH in order to understand what's happened with Polar.

Call me naive if you must but I've never been one to jump on the band wagon.

What about the folks at Southwest? You pulling for us, too?
