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.
Man I wish you all well at FX trust me when I say that, I have friends there and I want it nothing but success.
I am just saying what I hear from them. FX is just not for everyone, I don’t see the need to come to a UAL forum to advertise FX like it is heavens… believe me when I say they don’t need any help recruiting pilots, it is still a very well sought after pilot career. Just not my cup of tea.
To the OP, when I read his post history looks like he is holding a grudge against UAL. Like I say to my friends at FX, we are hiring and you can still have a decent career at UAL if that’s what you want. Or, you can stay there and be miserable… either way. Good luck!
