Good luck World pilots!!!!
Well said aircum. Speeking of "IGM", when is Fedex flight ops going to drop the "don't hire from the 'majors'" policy? Now that all of us major/"legacy" guys are making less than LCC's, etc., isn't it about time to drop that deal? I know Fedex got burned by a bunch of guys going back to their airline after early 90's furloughs, but if we are currently employeed, the only way to start at Fedex is to resign.
It seems like "IGM" is at play here too. How do the Fedex IGM guys think they "got theirs" - because Fred S. thought it would be a nice wage to pay a pilot, or because of the pilot pay bar that has been upheld by the "majors" over the years? Time for Fedex flight ops to drop the agenda and hire best qualified.
