[QUOTE="quadro, post: 271818, member: 12850"] I never said you were ignorant about jumpseating. I loved that benefit. Still love to do it when I get the chance for business. And I know the whole deal about security. But let me get this straight; according to you personal jumpseat was jettisoned, at least in part, due to the cost of the reservation system? Would this be the same reservation system that still exists with the same background checks and the same security checks that are required for business jumpseat? Not sure I see where the cost of it comes into play. Also, what's your point about near misses and not being able to locate an airport? Anything you've seen jumpseating (and yes, I've seen them too) happens on any commercial flight. It's not specific to FedEx. I know it was a big deal for MEM employees but it's not FedEx's fault that Northwest Airlines has a chokehold on Memphis. And if 9/11 made it more convenient, why was it brought back after 9/11, albeit for a short period of time? Anyway, enough about jumpseating. You didn't answer any of my other questions. Hmmm. Didn't know you had a choice of how much you contribute to the PPP. Oh wait, you don't. Good to be informed, though. How can they see a better future if they don't see what is going on now. And what makes you think that you're going to get a better deal? You are rolling the dice. You have to consider what you have now and is it worth wagering it all on red when black might come up. Lastly, why do you think VTBrown would "love to see that happen"? Why would a UPSer LOVE to see FedEx go on strike? Maybe because they know that if FedEx went on strike, there may not be a table to come back to? For some reason, you seem to be totally convinced that a union would give you a better deal at FedEx. There is one thing and precisely one thing that a union at FedEx would guarantee. More money for the Teamsters. Other than that [I][B]everything [/B][/I]is negotiated. Or should I say gambled. Is the whole package that bad that you are willing to give it up and roll the dice to see if you get a better deal? Are you willing to put other employees futures on the line to see if you get that better deal? Yes, number of jobs available are also part of the negotiation. [/QUOTE]
