I'm going out on a limb and guessing none of your 17 FredEx bros were there in 1998? It hasn't been all sunshine and roses. My FedEx bros who received a personal copy of the "With or Without You" letter share a different opinion. Today's history lesson is the FedEx contract negotiation of 1998.
Skip to 1998 and start reading. Gumm didn't invent the "Optimizer", it's over 2 decades old.

Everybody gets their turn in the barrel, 2020 was your turn.

It will be interesting to see how the cargo industry looks in 10 years with the return of belly freight and the coming Amazon onslaught.
P.S. Fred is not a friend of pilots and absolutely hates unions!

I’ve also flown what was supposed to be a 2-day GS (work SEA-ATL day 1, short hotel stay, DH day 2). I went home on day one with no penalty...except per diem.

What Drum also completely omits is covid has caused the cargo business to soar while devastating the passenger business. If things were flipped the conversation would be totally different.

Negative...that's the game! I did that very thing on a GS last week, except I deviated DH on day 1 and drove into work on day 2 (I happen to have lived close enough to the overnight).

Don’t have my iPad with me. If you have a carry out trip that is changed - went from a 4-day to a 1-day - are you pay protected for the current month? I know you’re SOL for the carry-out, just not sure about the current month. Thanks

Now giving the new reality of "safetyism" we are going to continue to struggle with whatever disease x,y,z has in store for us down the road. Didn't the CDC just say today that herd immunity is impossible now?
Funny you don't mention the little trips thru bankruptcy, merger, and all the other pitfalls that have plagued this pilot group since like the late 90's. FedEx been pretty stable over that timeline.
Has Fred ever out right lied to his pilots?
I should have gone with my gut, but I didn't. I'm stuck here now and will attempt to make the best of a crappy situation. Let me guess sailing, you are ATL based?
