It is interesting to see FedEx is now actively recruiting on Indeed and other online platforms, Lots of guys here in their 20's coming from 135, 91 world, all good people, even 23 year old female in 76 class!

The “Intro to Boeing” class does a great job of introducing folks to our side of the house and has produced good results.
With Cat II/III TRAINING, difference training, upset training, LOFTS etc the sims are simply required. I can’t imagine anyone doing this level of training in 5 periods.

It would be nice to hear from the Union as to whether they are planning on (or have already) approaching the company with pay issues related to the monstrous inflation we're seeing. I'm 100% sure the company is charging customers more, and we have zero spare capacity on the planes (per JC). I would like to know that they were at least *trying* to get us some kind of improvements (yes I know we have a still wet CBA).
The weekly emails seem like a-lot of fluff recently.
Thoughts? Van driver rumors?
