You pretty much missed the wave and with the large numbers of 20-30 year olds hired, you'll be junior forever. But go ahead, jump.
You are always wrong.
4.a.2.c puts the financial burden of overstaffing on the backs of the crew force (instead of the company). Patently stupid. Additionally, you'd think a junior pilot would like to be able to look forward to reaching a seniority level that insulates them from peril eventually but no, not at FedEx. Nobody is ever safe. It's a stupid system and I thought that when I was the bottom guy coming here from a furlough.
Odd that a grumpy old man is a socialist though.
