[QUOTE="Sniper, post: 1199389, member: 48816"] My "beloved" Fred has paid me once a week for the last 21+ years without fail. Even the week after 9-11-01 when the planes were NOT flying and there wasn't much "WORK" to do. MEM paid us because it was the right thing to do. We cleaned up the warehouse, restocked supplies...but we got PAID. Again I am not happy with what was done to the Traditional pension, I don't know anyone who is. :fishbashsmile: I wish jumpseating was back for personal travel. (from the pilots I have talked to that has more to do with the FAA administrator than FedEx) I keep my jumpseat certification current every six months ....just in case of emergency travel. From my understanding (very limited in UPS matters) the new hire employees don't make near what the old timer's made under the contracts, I don't know. If that is fact it would be much like other big business, cutting expenses to manage the bottom line. If that is the case sounds like they can get drivers cheaper and the Unions still make the same dues...don't know, don't care, too much time invested HERE. Union this...Union that... look at the USPS and the losses they have sustained. How many different unions are there at the post office? HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE THEY LOST IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.....glad that wasn't FedEx or I KNOW I would be out of a job....long time ago. 2008-2009 was the opportunity to do something, but Barry was too busy shoving Obama care to give a Hoffa's rear end about our unique situation. That was then...this is now and that opportunity was like the maiden voyage of the Titanic....gone forever, get over it. Now the FedEx pilots are the "new model" to follow. Enough said on that. I haven't heard a peep out of them since they did their deal, must have been a good one and they are still flying, and we are driving and delivering packages. I love my job most days, especially today. I was home by 19:45 :happy-very: This is the United States of America after all, we have free choice. We can choose to work for FedEx or we can choose to leave. I "hope" you enjoy the "changing" job outlooks. There are ZERO decent jobs in this part of the country. I am more than comfortable, every day is a different day in the truck. I have too much time "invested" in OUR company to walk away. I still recall being a private in the USMC for $551.00 a month, and they OWN you 24/7 go figure that on an hourly scale. Hind sight is 20/20, should have stayed in but the family didn't want to travel. I still have my checks making $3.35 an hour, 1980's. yes Mr FedEx I love my job most days and hope to stick around 13+ more years enjoying the mountains and SERVING our customers. Attitude is EVERYTHING. I can assure you the sun will come up tomorrow, and we will BOTH be working for Uncle Fred. :wink2: Like it or not....that sir, is REALITY. [/QUOTE]
