At least you guys get annual cost of living adjustments. Next years is our last till approximately 3 weeks after you sign your next contract.

Sorry, you now have a lower top scale that you don't reach until 15 years instead of 12. So, you will be an FO for most of your career at a lower top scale. You win. GL tried to tell you this at the road shows.

Besides the obvious answer, it tells me that you are very smart. Good luck, and I mean that. I just wish I would have had the foresight to pull the trigger years ago when I was still young enough to do it.

Shaggy,

There are several others around the 5 year mark that have apps in also.

It tells me that you have a job at UPS and have an application in at FedEx It also tells me that you're tired of wearing that brown hat, and that the grass is always greener, which in this case, it is. Good luck.

Just remember FedEx is the green grass and ups will always be the brown fertilizer. Special thank you to our elite management group. My sincere wishes to anyone that leaves this prison for career freedom.

UPS and Fedex aside (considered by me as winning the career lottery). Why is Alfaro dogging on Virgin and other carriers?? I would glady work for them, minimums at VA are 5,000 total, 1,000PIC and people are trying hard to get hired. What job do you have that is so great?
