Wow, were do I sign up for that?? I hope its in Guangzhou, China, I hear we get free breakfast
and happy hour. Even better for your extended Fedex layover, beautiful downtown Bangalore, India, or it sister great tourist spots, New Delhi and Mumbai.
All kidding aside. International will land you some good long layovers, every once in a while, but in all likelyhood you will have to pay in spades with some sh##ty short ones to get that. Domestically, some + 24 hour layovers if coupled to a weekend away from home.
We have some good deals, our travel
for purposes of getting to and from work are good, but they should be, it work related. Personal travel benefits.., not so much. Can you mix some work and play into getting Fedex to pay? Maybe, depends on your personal situation, the trip and what DH's it has and were they are on the trip and oh course, whether your significant other is willing to play along with the fact you could get disrupted and the whole plan goes to sh##. We have no meaningful travel benefit by legacy standards, and as best as I can tell, ZERO benefit after retirement.
But unmentioned as a major benefit, in your totally career at Fedex, if you desire, you can do all your flying with no less than half your takeoffs or lands at night, and possibly more. Also all the free coffee you can drink at our in house coffee cafe in Memphis.
If that, and living in Memphis is a plus, come aboard, look forward to seeing you on the Mad Dog.
