I'm pretty sure that one of the O grams or company emails listed where the new hires in this class were from. Delta, UPS, Southwest, and American Airlines ring a bell...of course, Military as well. I will have to find that one....

From the "Fedex new hire" thread in this section:

On April 18, 2011, twenty new hires began basic indoctrination. Three volunteers from the FDX MEC Membership Committee as well as MEC Chairman Captain Scott Stratton had the privilege of meeting and briefing our newest crewmembers last week.

This class of pilots came from a variety of backgrounds. We have pilots joining us from FedEx Training, UPS, Air Wisconsin, Pinnacle, Mesaba, Presidential Airways, and Independence Air. We also have former members of the USAF, USN and the Air National Guard.

Regardless, you can be sure that they all feel that they've died and gone to heaven.
