    Fedex Question

    I don't know if the program is still active but it used to be that if you had one year at FDX in any position and met the minimum requirements you were guaranteed a pilot interview. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FedEx quesyons

    LAX F/O- It's the most senior F/O seat in the company. Several years at least. If you fly domestic you can do everything from 1 day out and backs (MEM), 1 day layovers, to 7 day trips. Many permutations. Many MEM trips are 1 day. None of the other domiciles have 1 day trips. 2 day minimum...

    Given the above: How would you exert "leverage" or pressure on management to conclude negotiations in a timely fashion with an acceptable T/A? As for FDX- We are entering our busiest time of the year extremely undermanned!

    Southwest Uniform Leather jacket

    Do you recall what the retro checks were for, percentage wise? Dollar wise? How many years were you in negotiations? Our T/A has a 10% raise the first year so a "real" retro check should be 10% of the money earned during negotiations? For us that is 2.5 years. 2.5 x yearly salary x 10% =...

    The latest on AA and APA contract negotiations, article

    American Airlines management can send negotiations to binding arbitration whenever it wants to? I must have missed that section of the RLA.

    Southwest call for interview

    He had a good ride. I wonder what the career progression would have been for a guy hired at AA in 1978? Probably pretty good until 2001, maybe even longer. I know of at least two who left FDX for AA in AUG/SEP 2001. One was a 727 Capt. They chose poorly. Regards, Fr8doggie

    AirTran pilots will own the SW upgrades

    If that's true and you aren't willing to bring the pain you will be negotiating for a very long time.

    AirTran pilots will own the SW upgrades

    Oohhh. It's a big secret. OK then. Truly, I hope you get significant gains. I doubt you'll get them unless you "bring the pain". I'm not talking strike.
