I’m not sure how a JB to UAL guy would know anything about FedEx culture.

I worked at UAL and now FDX. Our cultures are very similar— like most major airlines. We all have the same kinds of people. 99% good dudes/dudettes. And for the most part, we don’t want to burn the company to the ground.

From talking to buddies at Brown, their pilot/management relationship is very adversarial. Lots of non-seniority list managers, LCA, chief pilots, etc. They fight for everything they have. Their union culture, however, is top notch. It needs to be.
