If anything I'd say 9E guys go waaayyyyy out of their way for FedEx guys--at least in Memphis. Re: there are tons of MEM captains for whom FedEx is the only job they'll ever leave this place for, and many many children of FedEx pilots on the line at 9E as well, not to mention people like me who absolutely love having you guys as a commuting option...I'd also venture to say that 98% of the people in ops/dispatch/training/executive ranks here are either a) trying to go to FedEx one day, b) worked at FedEx for most of their working life, or c) are married to or related to a FedEx pilot or Express employee of some sort...when you throw in girlfriends, friends, and golf buddies, well, you get the picture--it is the very rare occasion that a 9E pilot or employee would not do anything legally possible to get a FedEx guy on that seat...
