LT Dan,

1) Anything you write on this board is read by the company.
2) They can figure out who you are.
3) There is a Jetflyers group on FB, if you do FB.
4) There is a FedEx 767 group on FB as well.
5) At FedEx, perhaps more than anywhere else, seniority is life.
6) 757 MEM should give you the fastest increase in seniority.
7) There are rumors of perhaps 500 retiring next December 31st.
8) I hope you can stay up all night and sleep all day.
9) Commuting sucks, but it beats living in MEM.
10) If you want it to be easier to get to work, living in MEM is easier.
11) You can reserve a J/S on a FedEx aircraft, so that helps.
12) We should retire at least 800-1000 in the next 3-5 years, so I think your career path should be good.
13) Get used to a 3% raise every time we go into negotiations.
14) You can make more money in the right seat of the 777, than you can as a junior narrow body Captain.
15) The best news is you won't have to spend 2 years sitting sideways, like I did when I was hired.

Good luck and welcome aboard. There are lots of guys, especially the ones at the bottom of the list, that are really glad you are here.
