Good advice. And take what you read on here with a grain of salt. I've been IPA since we started and can tell you that 99% of us consider you guys at FDX as our brothers, different union or not. We DO have a very strong union, but as a previous post mentioned it's probably due more than anything to the way we get treated by UPS.
Different companies, different issues on a lot of fronts, same issues on others. It would be nice to see more communication between us during negotiation times so that we do not inadvertently undercut one another, hopefully we can develop some more of that.
Here's to both groups - let's just concentrate on raising the bar for everybody.

I'm sure those 109 really appreciate that.
I would never even have entered this discusson except I'm tired of UPS guys blaming all of their woes on the FDX pilots' union.
You've got the FAA to reconsider it's rule. We've got HR4350. We'll see which, if any gets any traction.

My dog's bigger than your dog......Really???? We're all on the same bus going to the same destination. Personally I think going at the problem from two seperate directions is a good idea! Hopefully we will all be successful.

It is True that some at FDX make more than anyone here at UPS. I know for a Fact a Senior MD MEM guy made 540K last year. He gave me his W-2 to look at. Wow! Way more than anyone here by 200K. Almost double mine, and I'm a Senior MD UPS CA. We don't have the options FDX has. And I really would love to have your Deadhead Policy. Sitting in a cold freighter blows big time for 11 hours at a time. While my FDX buddies are flying First Class drinking Wine. And the option of the Ticket Bank $ to be used for courtesy cars and such.

Much rather sitting on a back of cold frieghter for 11 hrs makin 220 as FO rather than sitting first class drinking red wine and getting paid 88k flying wide bodies, that's just me. I'm here to make money....if I wanted to drink red wine and make 88 k a yr I be a drug rep or just apply to FedEx.
None so blind.
