yes. the polls were designed to get the answers that the now disgraced NC wanted.

We can couunt the number of airlines that still HAVE a pension on half of one hand.
Corporations hate pensions, that s why they all get rid of them.
IMHO, FEDEX will never give you an increase.

I agree. The only way we get an increase is to sunset it for people not on property.

Any highlights from the town hall today?

Incredible display of IT through Zoom.

Guy on toilet. People joining not realizing they aren't muted.

Acronyms are cool?

Richard played football growing up.

USPS contract wasn't profitable to fly anymore.

Europe loads are trash. So bad, they'll consider parking delivery trucks and making the couriers deliver packages on scooters.

DHL is called Mellow Yellow, and UPS is apparently so bad at their job they went after an unprofitable contract with USPS.

FedEx doesn't care about employees in the long run.

JB can't answer a question without more questions.

Tricolor is the future. With growth in there somehow.

JD isn't the boogeyman, he just decided to shoot
​​his shot.

No one had a clue what our post USPS schedule would look like.

We're going back to the South Cone.

Wetleasing is still being denied as happening, even though it's still happening.

You may or may not have a pilot career here if you're sub 2 years.

I think I got most of the waste of time. Please add more.

That’s where they were dead wrong. Not because they didn’t ask, as you say, the polling data showed…. What you don’t mention is the data was corrupt. They asked leading questions, failed to describe what they meant by “pension” or “defined benefit” or “retirement increase”.

The NC failed horribly on the first leg of the journey.

RS loves us and appreciates what we sacrificed during lockdown, drastic reduction in domestic day flying (should know more soon), increase in international freight and profit margin to feed whatever is left of day flying (new makets to explore but they can't tell us now), GOC is worried about losing shifts, has lost many dispatchers to attrition, but they will keep their vacation slots for next year, RS is committed to negotiating in good faith a contract but it must be fair to customers and shareholders, and will be industry leading for the cargo industry, RS was raised by a marine and is good at cracking jokes to make the audience laugh.

Did mgmt imply this? Doesn’t sound very encouraging.

A pilot asked about the future and their place in it, and instead of JB answering, he rambled on incoherently and left more questions than answers.
