[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 5595300, member: 12508"] Not true. Your "facts" are inaccurate. All Tigers employees were forced to de-certify as a condition of the merger. This is the era of Fred's famous "Red Letters" to pilots, warning them of the dangers of forming a union and saying the usual garbage about PSP. When FDX bought Tigers, they merged the seniority lists, which meant there were a lot of Tigers people who were downgraded from Captain to FO, or FO to Engineer. 3 man crews still predominated. Tigers had a profitable PAX charter operation, which Fred killed when the flight attendants refused to de-certify. These were not happy times for flight crews. I distinctly remember jumpseating on a 727-100 flight where the Captain and downgraded Tigers FO were arguing in the cockpit and not paying attention to flying. They actually overflew the destination airport and had to make a second attempt. There were no unions on T-Day, but Fred got what he deserved by forcing de-certification. Check my facts, and you'll find them to be accurate. [/QUOTE]
