Is This Really All We Can Get?
I just reviewed all my Negotiating Committee and Chairman Update emails. It seems like as of the first week in August the company had not brought any money to the table. We were still waiting on Compensation, Retirement and Health Insurance to be negotiated. Then by the end of August we have a TA and the NC claims "this is all we can get, there is no money left on the table". That seems like an awfully short time period to have sucked every last penny out of the company's negotiations coffer!

This question should have been contemplated well before now by our NC and MEC reps. How they were so easily placated boggles the mind.
Unfortunately, this dialogue is late to the party. The TA is what it is and falls well short of our openers and expectations.
Argue all you want. It's simply a marginally improved, marginal deal that will probably pass. It's nothing more, but probably much less after the implementation of the concessionary language. We're easily bought here at FDX. That is the truth. JM, his team, and the execs have known this for years. It cannot be refuted based on the last 15 years at least.
