Yes, it was a little harsh. I'm just tired of all the conspiracy theories out there about OUR MEC. How they suddenly don't represent us any more and how they must have a alternate agenda to gives us this LOA. I believe they think they got the best they could and as far as the STV goes, the company just put in writing what the MEC said was the intent when they negotiated the LOA. My hope is that people vote on this LOA based on its merits or lack there of, not because they want to send a message to the company or MEC. Stop the personal attacks on the MEC and NC, because in the long run, it only hurts us as a crew force. If you are unhappy with the MEC, run during the next elections, and then think about how you treated your MEC on this forum and how you will feel getting the same treatment because you can't make everyone happy all of the time. They(MEC) do a thankless job, and I for one, whether I agree with them all of the time or not, appreciate it. That being said, I will no longer post on this forum.
) No known opener, just a "take or leave it" from both the company and union. Add to it all the, not so subtle, protection the company wanted in case will failed to bid the FDA's and it should be no surprise that this pilot force sees this LOA as a major step backwards.Others picked up on the STV thing before I did. I stopped at the no school money and considered it DOA from my prospective. The more I though about the STV, even at 30 days, let alone 90, the greater I feel the company has made a strong grab at diluting hard won benefits regarding time away from home vs pay. If you volunteer or are forced into a STV, either way you are giving your time away for per diem only. That's not right. If FedEx needs to staff overseas it has a well established tool for doing so, SIBA.
Lets let the chips fall where they will, and see what happens after the vote.

It sounds like you should apply to one of these other companies since their total package is so much better than ours. Or better yet, enlist in the military (yes, give up your commission) since an E1 has it better than you. Or even better yet, the next time your block rep is up for election, run against him/her and announce your screen name here so we can see what you will say when you think no one knows who you are. If a *****'n pilot is a happy one, then a lot of you must be the happiest pilots in the world. If it is so much better everywhere else, then just leave. Let some other less deserving pilot have your lousy job so you can go to Cathy or some other place where life is so much better.
Good luck in the future with the grass always being greener on the other side.
