We will never agree on what it means to work for fdx. you see it as an identity, whereas I see it as a means to pay bills and save a little money and maybe see some new sights. you eat the pizza and laugh with the execs who are actively working to optimize your time and energy, whereas I’d rather fast than spend a minute in their presence. you whine about how we blew it with the TA, whereas I (and the majority) are fighting against concessions, which, by the way, would have had little impact on senior dbags like you. and we will show them nothing with crybabies like you who put pride first and unity second. the great day is when the old guard mentality retires, not those fighting for the future of this workforce. i bet everyone you meet knows what you do and who YOU work FOR.
and the tail I last flew was your moms.

I find it mildly interesting you even think about the word "identity" when it comes to FedEx. Of all the things I've done in my life, my FedEx job is probably the thing that defines me the least. We're nothing but numbers to big purple. That's it. It's a business. Businesses operate to make money. FedEx has a long track record of doing that well. You and I are nothing more than cogs in that money making machine. Have you not figured that out? For the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone keeps flying for any airline one day longer than they have to. How much longer are you going to work for a company that ****es you off so much? I don't really hate the job, but I still plan on leaving early if I can. It's basically just a paycheck to me, and I've hit a point where I no longer really need it. So why would I keep working?
Let's make this personal. I started at FedEx when I was 35. Who's going to spend more years making money for Big Purple? You or me? Let's bet a steak dinner. Person who works for Fred longest picks up the tab and wins a purple promise tie tack for being most loyal to the company. If this job doesn't define who you are, walk away from it. Plenty of other flying jobs out there.

I'd be gone already if TA1 had passed. Now I'll wait until we get a new contract or I turn 60. That's a 3 year window to get a new contract signed, and at this point I'm guessing I'll be leaving FedEx when I'm 60 years old and 1 day. I'm really hoping JN can corral the disfunction we call a union, but that's a tall order for anyone.

at the end of the day, any type of preferential hiring has its downsides, and FedEx is just as guilty as the rest of them with their history (and ongoing) nepotism.
