Fedex was always my first choice by a lot post military. Got hired but sat in pool a few years. Got called by United and went. Really liked it, so when Fedex class was offered finally, and even when SWA invited me to re-interview, i decided to stay with the one who brought me. SWA was easy to turn down. Fedex came down to at my age starting over made little financial sense, living in base for me was better QOL at UAL then in Memphis, and like i said i like my job here.
Having said that if i had gotten a class date soon after interviewing at Fedex i would never have looked back. Most of my Fedex interview class did go there when called. To each their own. Seniority and QOL matter.
