I doubt you busted your a$$ any harder than I did for equally lower wages.

None of us with very rare exception, who are at a legacy or a major freight company did so without some serious commitment.

I've worked two and three jobs to make ends meet when coming up the ladder. I've even worked an extra job or two to make ends meet after getting here. But showing up to fly after working all night, night after night, is not the smartest thing you can do. In fact it's the definition of bad idea.
Oh yeah, I've been on hiring boards in the past as well as that LCA thing ETC ETC. But you're right since I don't work for FedEx I'm pretty sure that I'll never bee on a hiring board at that airline.
