From what I understand that 2700 will get you a small appt. and you will not live in an expat area.
1000lbs. of what, household?
School costs will wipe out the paycheck.
10000 for deposit on what?
I can see why this is not very popular

Like you say ... school is a huge deal. Unfortunately our negotiating committee chairman didn't have a problem with this since HE was already paying for private school in Memphis (thanks for that Bob!)
1000# of household goods!*? Ha! My wife has 1000# of shoes!
All-in-all ... the deal our negotiating committee agreed to and then did the "hard sell" to the crew force for ratification, is, quite frankly insulting. Hell, our SCP even stated in writing that, "Expat packages are for people with special skills." I guess that tells us where we stand in the company's eyes?

You have got to be kidding me
Dave Webb is a treacherous POS, he stabbed 4000 of his own pilots in the back, via his vote for the change in age 60.
He stabbed his own pilots and the rest of the industry in the back with his personal arrangement for the over 60 fe's to return to the front seat. HE DIRECTLY CAUSED THIS.
Now how can he even still be in office much less you guys listening to this traitor.

Is it possible you all agree that Congress should be able to change the terms of the contract?

You know, from your first post I was under the belief that the Association put this DVD out. And from this second post, it still seems like that is what you are saying. Farther below someone said the company put it out. Which is it SkyPine?

The company was surprised (I guess they didn't do the homework they promised us they did?) to learn that some (many?) apartments require sizable cash deposits prior to occupancy. So ... FedEx has agreed to loan the pilot this deposit, up to $10,000.

It looks as if your union didn't look closely enough at the costs either, maybe ( probably not) ours will learn and not make the same mistakes.
Good luck

The question is how hard did DW work to get the Oberstar exception for those still listed as "required crewmembers". Retroactivity is about being 60 or not on the day the legislation was signed.
