If there was just one statement from SS acknowledging that our MEC believes these pilots are innocent of wrong doing and have no need of amnesty, I think they might actually believe that they are "supported".
+1

I would start to think the same thing. So far...Not too convinced.

Ahhh, I get it now. You're not as dense as you're pretending to be (or maybe you are, but that's not relevant now), you're just using this as a way of blaming DW for the firings.


I made the mistake of assuming you were engaging in actual debate.


(Better make that call to Kirby before lunchtime.)

Gentlemen:
I implore you to Please stop this infighting.

While we do not always agree with each other, as Seniority # Line holding Pilots ,we are on the same side. Yes even if we have Polar opinions.

The Firings of the HKG 4 are Not the fault of DW or the MEC's past or present.

The Union did not fire these Pilots........Management Did.

The Union did not Invoke 4 A 2 B..........Management Did.

The Union doesn't tweek the Optimizer..Management does best which isn't always to our benefit.

While things are not always Utopian, Pilots step up to serve in
Union Positions, some Paid and some volunteers.

I thank them for doing it, even if I do not agree with them.
Why anyone volunteers to do UNION work is beyond me. (I sure do not want to)
Our pilots who take the job get it from both sides, Management and the Pilots they are working for.

If people do not step up to do the Job what then? Does anybody really think we are better off without a UNION.

Management will continue to do what it does best and that often isn't always to our benefit.

Again we are all on the same receiving end are we not?

It is ok to debate, but please do it Respectfully and think about who is really the common FOE here.

Please Chill and Have a nice evening.

Quick question: If you are going to dump on TonyC for being part of the MEC that produced the original LOA; Ask yourself - where was SS and other members of the current MEC when the original LOA was passed?

The last bastion of those out of answers..the personal attack complete with name calling. Truly an answer all on its own.

You got it Red. I am not trying to lay blame on any single group here as it is clearly management that has made these decisions. It's just when I hear or see someone who bears some responsibility for this problem intimating the current MEC isn't doing things right even slightly, it strikes me a hypocritical and self serving. All I asked was whether or not there was culpability for those that shoved the original LOA down our throat as well as those who were on watch when the firings went down. I am done with Tony and his evasive answers and name calling. Glad to have him back on the board though..

Well, critics of the union have said over and over they allowed them to be fired. I think they are just trying to put out there they did have a choice, even if it was a bad one. Not saying I agree with that BTW, just thinking out loud. What has your rep or SS said to you about it? Have you called or emailed them? I know my calls have either gone through or been returned pretty quickly when I needed to talk with them. Maybe you can ask about that support statement as well. Until you do I can only assume they are doing their best to help without possibly hurting the HKG 4's cases and possible future ones. Please let us know back here when you do or if for some reason you don't want to let me know and I will call.

In fact, I would implore anyone here who has a question about the MEC's behavior to call them instead of putting suppositions and innuendo about them on this board. Then, when you post critical words about them you at least have given them a chance to explain what they are doing whether you agree with them or not.

See answer above to Red as to why I even broached the subject. Unless you were part of the 32%, everyone who voted for this POS bears some blame. I never absolved anyone of anything and if SS was on this board being critical of the DW regime for this issue I would likely have posted the same to him, asking if he felt any responsibility for this mess while he poked at others. Anyway, I appreciate your professional tone. Bottom line is Red is right and NONE of us should be blaming anyone on our side for the table for what happened since none of us terminated anyone.

No. You are 100% wrong.


The ONLY blame for the wrongful termination of our brother pilots rests squarely and exclusively on FedEx Flight Management.





(Wrong, like dense, is an adjective, not a name.)
