I have been w/ the same company for 5 years and only making $57,000/ yr. I would love to get a job w/ ups or fedex. I flew cargo in the past and really liked it. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. I'd love to plant some roots and know what our future holds. My kids are 6 and 1 and would love to be settled before moving AGAIN becomes too difficult for them.
Familyman:
Although I am not a pilot yet, however, I have been in direct contact with guys who hold line positions with FDX right now. The one thing these guys say is to get to know one or a few of the pilots that fly for FDX. Networking. This is your best chance. Resumes are walked into FDX and having insider recommendations is highly desirable.
Best wishes and blue skies.
