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 came to fedex from the company you work for. There is NO comparison. You also couldn’t pay me to leave here for delta or swa right now. Yes, I’m still junior and still get a reserve line. I’ve also been “bit” by some of the “sorry, that part of the contract hasn’t been implemented yet!” I’m not saying it’s unicorns and rainbows, and some may prefer flying pax and multi-leg, max duty days. But for me, I’m very fortunate to be in the place that’s best for me.
