We know we NEED the big picture while we are flying, but no one wants to think about the "unthinkable". Five years ago if you would have told me that SWA was going to be a cash cow, Fed-Ex was going to be industry leading and DL, NW, UA were all going to be bankrupt, lose pensions and their future be undefined...we all would have told you to pack sand (or something else)
Rumors or not. Your job and your medical are fragile.....it is funny to see when you chuck a spear at SWA or FED-Ex, most pilots will start chucking back, stating that their jobs our secure and nothing will ever happen. Yes I'll agree that some are more secure than others right now, but anything can happen.
i agree to some extent...i am always knocking on wood..but FEDEX has been a secure job since it was founded...i am more concerned about keeping Fred healthy and have him lead us for years to come...he is a pain during contract time ..but having a CEO with pull in D.C. and a stake in this place is great...we will see
