The HKG 4.

They weren't Fired because they were jumpseating into work. They were fired because they demonstrably maintained their primary residence somewhere Other than HKG while collecting Housing Assitance.
At least 1 of the 4 had a spouse that really didn't help out matters...a who are you to tell me Where I have to Live FedEx and while the individual had the Intent to fully relocate as outlined in the CBA it didn't happen.

There were more than 4 folks targeted by the Lawyers, but they accepted the "plea deal" and maintained employment. (eg FedEx has many components and the Air Ops branch with SCP\FCs do NOT have the power some assume they do)

There are Things at Every Company which wouldn't Fly here at FedEx.

The Complaints about FedEx Reserve System-valid. But at no Pax Airline is there a 60 second guarantee of arrival.

The work rules are Different at every 121 carrier, not simply FARs.
I, personally, think FedEx's DH options for Commuters are the best in the industry. Home Basing would be nice....but, would that impact on Pay for those of us lucky enough to occasionally hold trips starting\ending with a Scheduled DH to\from home. And wouldn't the Deviation bank on those trips be 0 since company didn't have to buy a ticket.

Our Catering benefits are better. Foods not always great, but it's pretty much always an option so I don't have to wake up an hour early just to eat...and, unlike many of my friends, I've never brought a cooler with my lunch into work.

There are certainly pluses\minuses for every company.
