FDX Deadheading
I was curious as to how much deadheading Fedex crews do and if one lives in the Northeast, is it possible to pick up trips out of Newark or other major airports? If so, what type of seniority is necessary to do something like that?
Thanks

There's plently of front end, back end and double DH trips at FDX. If you can get them is another thing. Senority is key. A large portion of the crew force commutes so any DH trip (especially double DH) will go relatively senior in the seat.

Back on the Original Subject....
I am in LAX and about half of our trips seem to start and end with deadheads. I am fairly senior and I know I bid them as I commute. They, the deadheads, work best for me. I very seldom transit LAX and never have to go to MEM, thank God.
