Look around you in the industry my man.... And compare yourselves to some other 121 carriers. You've got a good place to work. I'm sure there are issues, but overall a pretty good group based on what I've seen commuting and your 'unity' has gotten you a lot.
From a regional perspective ---you're a VERY unified group. At this level Regional X decides to "unify and stand our ground for a great contract with significant improvements." Next thing you know Regional Y undercuts and your routes are gone and guys are on the street. You at least don't have to worry about that. From the outside looking in FDX looks like a pretty great group of guys/gals.
I digress.... Good luck to you and I hope that these disputed pairings are rectified soon.

that guy started out with an RA line - very junior - must've dropped all his RA days & rolled the dice on picking up trips
how lucky that this nice juicy 45 hour trip popped back into open time for him!

Once again, a new guy to the jet, coming off a domestic aircraft.
That seems to be the case in about half of the DP's picked up on the 777.
These trips are just something that have to be experienced to understand. That guy just signed up to fly 28 block hours, in four segments, in less than three days. Crossing 15 time zones and L-888.
Again, welcome to the toolbox.....
