[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 754649, member: 12508"] Of course, the written policy at FedEx is not going to state that "all injuries are the fault of the employee". That would be illegal. However, the reality is that management will attempt to declare every injury possible "preventable", even when it isn't. It's nice that you have a SCIT that's actually empowered to do something. The regime at my station would never consent to have the SCIT do anything but write-up reminders every month about new and inventive ways to be safe. I'll stand by my benefits statement. Co-pays and availibility of providers at CIGNA both suck. Our insurance has slid downhill as our out-of-pocket costs have risen. This isn't unusual these days, but since wages at FedEx have stayed depressed, how do you make-up the difference? You don't, and the employee is that much farther in the hole. IMO, the loss of jumpseat has more to do with making the pilots happy and saving money. Most pilots don't like jumpseaters intruding into their world of Penthouse, The Robb Report, and naps at 45,000 feet. There isn't much to do at cruise but monitor ATC, switch frequencies, and argue whether a Lexus or Mercedes should be your next car. Fred also eliminated a reservation system and a whole bunch of liability. Every ramp I know has a thorough jumpseater search procedure, and your ID badge needs to indicate jumpseat-eligible status. Business jumpseat still exists because it saves money. I just can't believe that so many employees just lay down like a rug and take-it...over and over again. They take, we give, and the cycle continues. Yeah, maybe the world has changed, but that doesn't justify the load of crap Fred has dished-out. Sorry, but FedEx is deserving of zero loyalty these days. Bad behavior is on the uptick, and they're not going to be able to control it.
