I flew a FedEx owned airplane (big bright FedEx painted on the side with all FedEx branding on the side of the airplane). I flew FedEx cargo to and from FedEx "specific facilities" on FedEx specific routes. Wore the FedEx uniform. The only difference between me and other actual FedEx pilots were the name on my paycheck and the size of the airplane.

Boy did I get the hate mail from "real" FedEx. So bad that not only did I leave the forum but I left the company too. FedEx can go jump in a lake for all I care.

I was once in line to go through security (at a FedEx base) in uniform on my way out to a FedEx owned airplane that was carrying FedEx cargo to a FedEx outstation and was told to make way for "Real Pilots" to get ahead of me in line for the metal detectors. (although in fairness one of the FedEx FOs came up to me later to apologize and said "we think you are real pilots too", but I think he said he was on property less than a year and the FedEx God complex hadn't settled in)

Talk about being treated like crap and a red headed step child.

"F" FedEx......I am happy they are having trouble finding feeder pilots. Maybe if you treated them a bit more like part of the team......or you know, human......

And a big "FU" to Empire while I am at it. That will take a whole nuther thread.
