You are correct after 3 or 4 years you will be able to leave and return to a right seat in Memphis. But you will not be able to upgrade for 12 or 15 years like everyone else. Bidding an FDA is a great way to get hired at FDX. FDX is still a great job, it is just now there are a lot of other great jobs out there. Good luck with whatever avenue you pursue. It is a 20 year gamble, and the right choice is never known till it is over.
