You're a full-time employee at an airline that expects you to be available to fly a normal schedule unless you're on LTD, vaca, training, sick, etc. Adult or not, you have no way of knowing if extra flying you do on the side is going to create an issue at the end of the month when your schedule gets revised and suddenly you have extra block hours you weren't counting on. Same with annual limits. Why do you expect FedEx to ignore potential scenarios that may result in you having to make a phone call to skeds telling them you've timed out?
I’ve never flown more than 350hrs a year at FedEX. And if the company want my 100hrs a year, they can either pay me a 100hrs monthly guarantee and/or they can allow us pick up OT all the way to FAA limits
