Any connection? You can't compare airlines to cargo carriers. Compare cargo carriers to cargo carriers. I thought boxes always flew, no matter what? Well I guess they do on UPS.
SS, it's obvious you have a beef with FDX, - I'm sorry that you didn't get an interview call, you failed your interview or that you're just bitter about us.

To the others on the board, it's a great place to work, good guys/gals on property (other than our 2%).

Forget that...! They can keep the cookie. I make over 100,000 per year and can afford to buy my own. They are bad for your health anyways.

What airline do you work for so we can be fore warned? What is the preoccupation with money?

My guess is he's a Wal-Mart greeter who likes to try to act important. He'll show up soon with another screen name on another board discussing his last 3 space shuttle flights.

Well you picked the fight, but now because you got spanked you want to take your ball home.... Remember all that talk about our crappy type of flying, our early demise, etc, etc...

There are some great AirTran guys out there and if that's where SS works, it stinks that he's making a bad impression on the community for the others that work there.

So when is this shuttle launch? Will you post on APC from the Intl Space Station?

This guy is going to believe we are all arrogant thirty thousand dollar millionaires counting our money in his jump seat no matter what anyone says. Just ignore him and let him make his money using Iraqi dinars to pay his mortgage or whatever.

I betting he does not have a Fedex neighbor.

PS The best way to get a job at Fedex is to network. After that network some more.

I have never heard ANY FedEx pilot gloat about their job...and I have given many rides in/out of MEM to these guys. Most are very polite and thankful for the ride...

Hey, stop the presses! Call PC and tell him this nimrod has the answer for FedEx's financial problems. We(FedEx pilots) just have to be "nicer." Man, we have all these financial experts working for us and this toad figured it out before they did.....
