Sort of. It’s how some fonts render that character. I’ve noticed it tends to look like the Twitter logo with Android’s default font, but it’s noticeably different in Firefox on Windows.
The current FedEx CEO makes almost 23 times what the average pilot makes, and that’s not including his company stock and options. And his FedEx shares of 0.037%, are worth roughly $23.97 million alone.
They turned down a 30% increase in both wages AND pension benefits? I’m very curious about what’s in the rest of that contract, because this sounds like it should have been a slam dunk.
30% is good, but the rest of the industry for pilots has been getting better deals lately and FedEx has historically been the highest paid pilots in the US so they’ve got high standards. We are also in the midst of a pilot shortage in the US and pilots have never had this much bargaining power to get what they want and likely never will again. Therefore, pilots at a lot of companies are being patient to get exactly what they want out of their new contracts. Honestly, the pay is relatively low priority to other quality of life upgrades.
Like guarantees to not get rid of the copilots position… something some companies are trying to do. My grand father was first an army pilot, then a flight engineer; the third man in the cockpit that no longer exists as a position, then a copilot and then a pilot, he heard the other day about companies pushing the FAA for flights allowed to have only one pilot and he just about shit himself.
Well it’s more so congress and not so much the FAA. For example, the house has passed a bill allowing pilots to continue to fly until 67 years old. The current mandatory retirement age is 65 and believe me, a lot of the guys pushing their 60s are delusional and this is just gonna make it worse.
It is that way, but it shouldn’t be that way. Bail unfairly targets the poor. Filing appeals should be standard procedure when you’re deciding whether or not someone has to spend years in a prison.
Some places have done away with bail on the basis that it targets the poor, like NJ, IL and the UK. But eliminating bail does not mean eliminating all pretrial detention. This couple would be in pretrial detention even in states without ball, because their own actions made them a flight risk.
And appeals are meant to be used when you think the judge made a legal error, not when you simply don’t agree with the law. If you can’t acknowledge that a correctly applied law may be used against you, then your trial will take longer than most.
