Anyway Seaboard was the second largest Cargo Line in the country, after Flying Tigers . They operated a fleet of 747’a and DC-8’s. A new hire with SB skipped the panel and went directly to F/O, at higher pay, unlike all the other majors, many of which did not operate 747’s.
The class before me have been WB captains at FEDEX for nearly two decades now, as a result of mergers, with Tigers and Fedex.
You’re in good company though with IATA that believe cargo carriers are a lesser class...... and don’t deserve the same level of safety as passenger carriers.
I have confidence this company will do the right thing with this class.
Did FedEx cancel new hire classes after 9/11?
I do agree with the person who mentioned CORE 4. If they truly believe in that philosophy, it would be a two way street. Like someone else said, the LEAST they could’ve done is allowed them to start so that they at least have a seniority number and recall rights. Or if you actually believe that they want them to know company policies, they could have them go home after Indoc. It’s reasonable, as someone else answered you, to draw the line at two weeks since that is the customary notice given when resigning.
If they actually believed it, it wouldn’t be about entitlement. It would be about the first C in CORE4.
