Thumbs up FedEx SFS Pilots Standing Strong

Heard through the rumor mill today that Bruce Cheever is on his way to Subic to talk to the boys. Suposedly they have been parking jets since they are refusing to do any draft or volunteer.

Well . . MAYBE . . as a young Lt. on 'R & R'. But was probably not sober enough to know where he was.

What's he gonna do? Kick *ss and take names? Sounds like the boys and girls in SFS are doing 100% to me.

NOW . . how 'bout all the other troops growing some cojones?

Glad to see the subic pilots pulling together. But dont you think the reason for this is that SFS is so small it would be easy to who is doing the extra flying. Peer pressure is a wonderful motivator. I dont see that working in MEM. Too many pilots can fly extra trips anonymously and still proclaim their union solidarity. We dont even post the names of the pilots who fly disputed pairings. Dont you think a couple of months of public scorn would cut down the level of this?...However, I do see that unfilled open time trips are waaay up on the maddog. could be the time of year, or could be enough guys are just flying their line. Seen any changes on the other planes?
