Which meant FedEx was double teaching versus maxing out the class room size.

Get the impression that's not the case now, that people are being "hired" but really starting Day 1 at the exact same time.

Which doesn't, quite, seem right.

Would almost be like hiring a Pro, then immediately giving him\her a 3 year leave of absence to continue teaching in the FedEx school house and then return for the WB (or Capt) seat that 3 years of Seniority would merit.


You lost me there.

The FDAs & MDs show on property on Sunday, sign paperwork for date of hire. Then everyone shows up the following day Monday to start BI, and the rest sign paperwork for date of hire.

Not advocating for wrong or right, but that’s the current process.
