Not my experience at all at MAC, FedEx owns the planes so they are well maintained. Like everywhere nobody is perfect so you get your occasional problem. Guys are good to fly with for the most part, and those washed up lifers you talk about are guys who actually enjoyed being home a lot and to spend time with their families. A lot of them stayed because of the QOL here. And that is something you have to respect! This is a good place to be if u wanna stay long term, if not you can move on and they will always rehire you need be if you did a good job for them. Sounds like a horrible company doesn't it?
