TonyC, The more of your posts I read, the more impressed I become. I can not agree with you more. I, like most of the rest of the Crewmembers at FedEx have friends who are not pilots at FedEx but do very important jobs. To me the main issue is not what I make or they make, it's what WE ALL deserve to make. I have never resented the money any of our Corporate management make, just like I don't care what the Corporate impression is of what I make. It is a matter of supply and demand. Don't mean to belittle the job that any of our fellow employees do but I would put the training required to do my job up against what is requird to do theirs any day of the week. I bet it didn't take 10 years to get to be a courier.
