Well first I'd like to welcome you to the
Airline Pilot central forum. I see you have four posts under your belt, can we expect to see more opinions from you about
Pilot issues?? By the way, you are not a
Pilot are you??

I got to sit there and look at the back of 3 heads for a several hour flight.. Pilots did not even offer me a section.
Let met apologize for the disgraceful behavior of one of my fellow cohorts.
Your not the first non pilot jumpseat to have an less than pleasant jumpseat experience riding on one of our jumpseats. One poor soul became so ill during their flight they threw up on the shoulder of the captain. I'm sure he too was doing something that created a less than desirable flight experience. Other jumpseater's have taken their displeasure on their free flight by eating the crews catering. Maybe someone else on this
Airline Pilot BB could give move vivid examples of non pilot jumpseat torment.

yes we know, you've sat behind one
I know the pilot job is very stressful and you have a lot of responsibility.. But there is no way in the world you guys work harder or longer hours than the courier work force does.. Of course you know our hours, you've sat in our cockpit
You guys have it made.. You have your dream job making super amounts of money.......
Not to mention you will be hurting the future income of every FedEx employee.. The average FedEx employee does not deserve that..
Please do not threaten a strike.. Please do not burn more fuel or burn up your tires.. Please do not throw a wrench in the day of our couriers by showing up to your destination late (on purpose) because of a BS mechanical delay..
OK NOW YOUR GETTING PERSONAL, WE THE FedEx Pilots on this bullet board are
professionals we know where our
$$$ comes from. NO FedEx pilot is doing anything that will/has affected the operational integrity of
our company.

And dont start that "Well, if yall had a union" BS.. I dont want to hear it.. I deal with a lot of couriers.. And we have a lot of disgruntled couriers.. But I must say after reading topic after topic in this forum, our pilots are the most disgruntled group of employees at FedEx.. That is freaking ridiculous..
Well thank you for taking the time and effort to enlighten us and to share your jumpseating experience, that was most insightful. And as far as unions go, don't worry about us worrying about you. I'm guessing your a FedEx manager and looking out for your couriers is low on your list of priorities. By the way, did I remember to tell you this is a
Pilot forum??
