Nor do they want to wait for 500 or 1000 121 PIC. Delta now over FedEx maybe later 99.9% go to delta. Only people who have wanted to be a FedEx pilot wait it out. Family, legacy, Memphis etc… This is just my experience so it means absolutely nothing. But it’s food for thought.

Hahah to each their own, and many are still misinformed about being a pilot at FedEx. Further, they haven't been paying attention to who was successful and growing during the 08-09 downturn and 20-21 COVID downturn.
I was furloughed because of the first downturn, and vowed to position myself at the best possible company for that to never happen again.
