No, FedEx is not the only company that makes you sit airport reserve for eight hours in the worst hell hole on the planet-LGA. Reserve work rules too are pathetic. How about being called on R for a trip but still being on R at the same time??? How about getting a late night trip assigned but being told you must come in two and a half hours early to sit at the airport first. Yes, it can always be worse but always better.

Now I haven't been called by Purple but honestly after what you have said, and another agreed, I think it's not for me. I wish more people would write truths and more would listen. As I said, in two years time, FedEx might be begging. Yes, Delta, and SWA, is much better and happens to have decent work rules. Best of luck to you and thank you again.
I would be hesitant to let a few sour apples influence my choice. No matter where you go there will be things that people hate and things that people love. I would advise you to find someone you know that works at any of your career airlines and ask them pointed questions. FedEx isn’t the leader in many things but it is in others. I’ve worked at a 2 airlines and I would say it’s a mixed bag. FedEx would still be my personal choice and I don’t regret leaving my previous jobs to come here. Just my 2 cents.
