There's so many variables ... time of year, seniority, which airplane you get, where your commute to (is it via airplane or driving)?
I loaded up the 757 April bid awards, examined the bottom 26 or so schedules awarded and counted the number of Sunday mornings those folks would have off. The average was 2.19. I only counted the Sunday if they clearly had it off and didn't have reserve period the night before. I did not include situations where you were off Saturday and Sunday but for whatever reason couldn't commute home because of where you lived and flight schedules. (we have a limited flights on Saturdays). Therefore, I'd say you'll be lucky to see 2 Sundays a month. I know there are tons of variables. I'm willing to do pretty much whatever is necessary if it means I can fly for FDX and still be home some Sundays! |

8 AM service, MEM by 2 PM would work for many/most of the afternoon departures on Sunday.
Church can be tough as a pilot. I deliberately didn't volunteer for any Sunday Schools or committees that required regular, consistent attendance. I looked for other places to serve, and btw...if you work at FDX and tithe you'll probably be in the top 5% of the contributors at your church. :) I actually had a chat with our minister when we joined explaining "we are not having marital issues, and I'm not out fishing...but sometimes I'm going to be on the other side of the world..." The cool part? I did Easter Service in Paris with my daughters back in 2013....great memories.... Also regularly visited a few churches in Germantown when I've been there for training or on a trip. Many of our pilots--including some in management-- are involved in a their churches and their communities in a lot of capacities. I think you will find our schedules lend themselves very well to church life, coaching sports teams, or a host of other stuff that makes you happy away from work. P.S.- Our church is small, I'm already in the top 5% in that regard... :) P.P.S.- Recently started into the ECIC material. Great stuff. I've got some homework to do... |
Get hired. You can pick a plane once you get here. You got a lot a study and a lot of prayer ahead of you first...

Two quick questions and I apologize in advance if they've already been answered elsewhere:
1) how senior is IND? Is it possible to get right out of training? 2) would a recommendation from a nonpilot district sales manager type be of any value? Thanks! |
New hires have gone to IND. The problem is that it is a small base, so there may not be any openings available at the time of your class date.
Can't answer the second question. |
