Look you totally misunderstood my point and yes there was a time when no one wanted to work for ANY cargo airline, including FDX. In fact, a few years back I met an FAA inspector who gave up his FDX job years ago to work for the government! 
I thought it sounded crazy but he said he thought he made the right decision at the time... Again, this was not meant as a put down on any FDX pilots but everyone knows that when the company was "young" people didn't necessarily quit their major airline gigs (like they'd do now) in order to work for Fred.
So basically I was wondering if The Pilot was hired during that time, or when the company was brand spankin' new...
PS. I revised my original post so it wouldn't hurt your feelings ...
...so maybe you could revise my quote too?

AV8OR Wannabee..."that's mighty arrogant considering the company you're in...I like that in a pilot." Most of the time.
Don't speak for me...I came here when it wasn't popular, from another major, in GOOD times. A little research and statistics on a bar graph while your solidifying your career can show volumes of intelligence.
For example--every major airline--but FedEx is doing nothing more than repeating history. Profit--to losses--to furlough--to profit. FedEx lost money for two years!! They have been in the black ever since (1975)--plus I didn't want to wear a stupid wheel cap anymore. That's why I decided to come here--and I still like it! It's much better than sucking up to red eye cheap a** paxs and managing F/A's and all the stress and issues they added to my day.
Your comment shows some lack of experience in the airline industry, or too much military experience... there Maverick

Since this thread has gone from Pablo to Hero Matt, and I doubt it will ever be back on topic after seeing those women, this thread is closed. If you feel you need to discuss Pablo some more, please start a new thread.
