Perhaps if we all read a few of the basic security policy documents, we wouldn't be so ignorant of the facts . I am still amazed that our supervisors have not provided us a helpful link so we can be better informed (and then be held even more accountable ). I certainly hope this stuff is at least being mentioned in basic indoc .

The docs are available on the intranet. The most basic is titled: Information Security Guide. It applies to all FDX employees and has a list of basic Do's and Don'ts. And as the second page says: Visit infosec[dot][you can guess the rest] for full Information Security Standards.

Egrid is not to be given to others.

Your Spouse may be a security threat to FDX when given access to VIPS. They don't receive any screening.

Just a guess, but if you use VIPS (company computers) the way 99% of us do, I bet you'll be OK.

When you start getting high tech or just like to look at porn at the AOC, you probably should read the above mentioned guide.

What a concept!!! I love this idea. A simple app that you can opt into or out of and will push open time trips based upon your seat position. It would help the company since all they really want is for us to fill the trips at straight pay and those that want to use their makeup will be able to know which trips are added into open time. A win-win

Much more simple than an app. It is called an RSS feed. Would work on every browser on every platform. And would cost the company less processing resources than the current solution. I actually proposed a similar solution for the union to do an RSS feed of open time, but was turned down.

Said document is where you will find all kinds of interesting tidbits like the prohibitions on visiting indecent or illegal web sites and forwarding FedEx e-mail to a personal e-mail account. It also admonishes you to not leave a remote computer logged into the FedEx network when not in use. Lots of colorful pictures too .

The FDX ALPA trip swap page has an RSS feed!! If the comm shop can figure it out, why can't the company? Oh yeah, probably an Infosec prohibition on it having to do with proprietary data classification or something .

It's also clear they aren't spending the accepted fare savings on additional IT resources .

Winner winner chicken dinner! I suggested this to the VIPS webmaster a couple of years ago including an option to opt in/out! Never got a response!

All that is useless eyewash.

We need to hammer the people and control the internet. It works in Syria and China.


I'd like to see 42GO sworn in as the Communist Party Chairman of FDX Pilots.

You are either a Bot person or you like the sign in process, unlike 99% of the rest of the crew force....not sure how that relates to the communist party either....maybe you just like to throw darts for sport.

Some of us actually try to solve problems.
