[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5875795, member: 58386"] It's my understanding that one of the unresolved issues is minimum monthly flight hours. Simply put, if you're not getting any flight hours....you're not getting any money. Secondly, it's been reported that Fats and Raj demand a contract that will result in ZERO increase in costs. So if you fly for the same pay for a year but you have the normal inflation rate of 2% then you've taken a 2% pay cut and if you do that over a 5 year contract then you've take an 10% cut. And will Fats freeze his air freight rates over the life of any new contract? Try again. I don't know how FDX Custom Critical is doing on the expedited freight end but there's no question that air freight is a service that is becoming just too damn expensive to operate. But again if Fat Freddy thinks he can get somebody to go out there and bust their ass doing time commit ground freight for half the wages and zero benefits and get it done reliably enough to get enough people to subscribe to the service? Ask your bookie what he thinks. [/QUOTE]
