no extra at Fed Ex!
What is up with the training guys? I have seen at least 10 captains flying draft as FO's in the last 10 days. It is not enough for them to fly draft in the sim and as a captain but now they have to fly the FO seat as well. Will we ever learn?

FedEx sim instructors
Hey, give the sim guys and gals a break. If you made as much as they did (many have the largest pilot W2's and don't pay union dues I might ad), you might feel an obligation to go the extra mile for the company also.
Before I get blasted, my apologies and thanks in advance to the school house folks that pay their fair share.

I do agree that our highest paid pilots, who throw off that hypothetical "average salary," are in the Instructor block.

It's the little things the don't seem to get. On my PC the instructors were discussing how many "extra" seat fills they were getting to do. Every time they fill a hole on a day off for "extra", it hurts the cause.
