Default FedEx feeder's
I haven’t been able to find much more than the pay scale’s for Empire Airlines, so does anybody know what the typical work schedule is like for other FedEx feeders? From what I understand a 208 driver will typically fly one leg in the morning, sit most the day, and then fly back that evening, is that about right? But, do they do that 5 days a week and only get 8 days off a month, or do they get more days off a month than that? Does the company provide a hotel room while they sit at the outstation and wait to fly back?

Thanks

The FedEx Feeders I am familiar with actually do the opposite of what you said. They operate into a FedEx mainline outstation or hub in the early evening and wait/layover during the night and fly back to their base in the am. Most live in the place the plane stays during the day and they usually end up there for the weekend as well. I know Empire puts up the crews in an apartment or hotel during the night not sure what the 208 guys do. There are some variations with standby pilots and such but most work Monday night through Saturday am. I know the ATR guys where I work actually have a split crew and get an whole week off most months where t he 208's excpet in vacation months work every week. Hope this helps.
