Have you read the interview in the latest "inside Air Ops" about the internal that worked all over the company to finally become a line pilot this last year. Share the magazine with any internal that meets the mins and isn't being allowed to interview. Those are the principles and ideals that FS founded and ran this company under. That is the reason you give internals a shot over someone off the street. If the employee does a bad job at throwing packages, or doing whatever than they won't get the rec from the supervisor to get the job. This should absolutely be GFT'd and with the full support of the supervisor and HR department at fedex.
