I think a lot of us newer types were having similar thoughts a few months ago... FDX had a couple less than stellar quarters, they stopped hiring, and the pax carriers were hiring like crazy with nothing but wonderful news and plans for the future.
Of course now any of us that were having those thoughts are extremely grateful to be here right now, with a hopeful but cautious glance towards the future 6-12 months from now. There's absolutely no other pilot job I'd rather be at now than FedEx, and I would imagine that's going to be the case for an extremely long time.
