Do you have a FedEx offer? Are you one of the many JB guys who has migrated over?

If yes--then you probably already know enough our life to make the big connections. If not--it is sort of academic for now.

Not meaning to sound snarky--your first post made me think you had the option. The last post makes me think you are asking questions at the water cooler. Neither is bad--just trying to get an accurate read...

A short synopsis is we don't get paid for block much, but for trip and duty rig. Flexibility means the ability to add or drop trips with ease, find trips that layover or have a DH to/from an area near your home, and the ability to manipulate a schedule in ways that are as varied as the pilots who work here. I would pick many trips based on the front or back end deadhead banks which let me get to work and back without the stress of asking for a jumpseat or being stuck in coach very often. Flying first class to Paris, then taking a jet to EWR, then DHing home the next morning and pocketing 30 hours of pay for 3 days away from home is what I mean by flexible and lucrative. There was always a FDX trip that seemed to fit the length of time I wanted to work (1 day, 7 days, or anything between) and a place I wanted to go or see (weekend layover in Boise, a deadhead to Mumbai India...) It was never boring, and no matter how much time I had I seemed to be able to find a way to work or not work based on what was best at the moment for my goals. The fact I could do that without living in domcile made my life very nice...
