Default Crash Pad for New Hires

Heads up for guys about to get out of the pool.

Crash Pad at "Greens at Irene"
8285 Irene Blvd - Memphis - TN 38125
www.lindseymanagement.com

2 Bedroom 2 Bath Apartment
Cable TV, Internet, Printer
Apartment Complex Amenities: 18 Hole Golf Course with Clubhouse Grill, Pool, Fitness Center, Sauna, Hot Tub, Tanning Bed.

20 Min's from AOC and 5 minutes from Pan Am Sim Building on Hack Cross.

Looking for 1-2 more roommates to share Rent
$330 per person for 3 roommates
$250 per person for 4 roommates

Currently 3 roommates with one leaving 1 Apr 07. All new hires. 727 Posters still hanging on the walls from training. Worked out really good for us during training having study partners in the same crash pad. So if two guys wanted to come on board we'd give you your own room and we have all our gouge and training aids ready to go.

Send me a PM if your interested. I can give you a better idea of the place over the phone.

Another young man started in the pool rather quicky too--but the pool is NOT first in, first out. There in no seniority until you get an ID.

I know its frustrating for some, but a lot of these second generation FedEx pilots are the sons and daughters of some of the folks who helped build this place. In the military, it was RHIP. I look at this as the same thing...

Hopefully all poolies will be dry soon and the wannabes will be getting their chances to interview. Maybe the next bid will create some action...

I call BS on this one. There was an internal last week to make the class an even dozen.

That is why there were only 11 new hires in the latest class.

Can anybody dispute this with facts/inside info?

There was a no show. I know a guy in that class, he told me. The day they started, Feb 19, the website listed even 12 newhires, photos comng soon... Took about a day or two to correct it, now it says 11 newhires started.

The odd man in the last class said he was getting paired up with an over 60 guy for training.

But thanks for thinking it was a bunch of BS.

Albie is right. There were 12 on the list. Now there are 11.

Albie is always right. You'll go a lot farther when you realize that.

(For those of you not recognizing sarcasm, I'll leave off the list of the times I've been wrong in order to save writers cramp and keep the thread a reasonable length...)

I thought it was Tony that was always right? Albie are you going for your own "Ask Albie" thread?

Upon further review, the replay video evidence supports the call on the field.

SNAFU will lose one timeout.

I will now lower and stow the BS flag.

At least now we know the reported source of the info.

Thanks.

Yeah, but what about the momentum of the game?

Some bastard will always throw a challenge when his team is on the ropes!

SNAFU must be punished!

Not really, but I'm glad to see us return to maturity here. At least for a few posts....
