Oh he is for real and alive and well around these forums. He spews absolutely false none sense most of the times. Trollllll

Take a look how his post has aged in the last year. Unbelievable someone could be so miserable with one, if not the best flying job in the industry.

Purpletool, that just took the wind right out of my sales but I needed to hear it as I thought it was the greatest place ever. Delusions of two years on the 767 in Hong Kong then back on the A300 with easy flights to Florida. It sounds as bad as where I am now.

No, FedEx is not the only company that makes you sit airport reserve for eight hours in the worst hell hole on the planet-LGA. Reserve work rules too are pathetic. How about being called on R for a trip but still being on R at the same time??? How about getting a late night trip assigned but being told you must come in two and a half hours early to sit at the airport first. Yes, it can always be worse but always better.

Now I haven't been called by Purple but honestly after what you have said, and another agreed, I think it's not for me. I wish more people would write truths and more would listen. As I said, in two years time, FedEx might be begging. Yes, Delta, and SWA, is much better and happens to have decent work rules. Best of luck to you and thank you again.

FedEx has NEVER been begging as you suggest in their hiring qualified pilots. N-E-V-E-R. Where do you come us with this sh**?! Not in my 25 years here.

I'm not miserable here. And yes, I did comment on the SCK notes that were justified. So? There are people that don't abuse SCK leave. And, what was your point then?

"But but but but, some people will be quick to say that the 777 has some bennies built into the contact for the long flights over 8 and 12 hours. Yes, it does. However, it isn't enough to significantly change your W2 at the end of the year. Since the 777 has extremely little extra flying, you fly what you can hold, basic bid line guarantee, and there's little chances of working extra and making extra. Senior or hard working 757FOs can earn a lot more than the average 777FO. Yes, it's true." - PurpleToolBox :rolleyes:

Mark my words ... after COVID is done and gone, there’s going to be a lot of disappointed pilots at FedEx as the money printing machine ends.

You know these times are unprecedented and is not the norm.

Every part of your long diatribe had some level of incorrectness. It was one of those take one peace and take it to the extreme. Its not hard for anyone to look at the recently published contract comparison document and talk with friends in the industry to realize what we have is a very good gig and contract. Could it use some small tweaks in a couple areas? For sure. Could it use some updated pay rates? Sure. Take a look at our pay (including soft time) and compare to current pay at the other legacies and UPS. News flash we are already in line with them. Oh and they have all bargained a CBA in the past 3 years. So much for them moving the bar for us. More like they got a COLA. Now lets talk about actual pay. Take a look at that section in our contract comparison document on retirement, vacation, duty rig and trip rig. News flash we win or are top 2 in every category. Oh and reserve we are middle of the pack. Lets not even talk longevity in top pay categories bc we all know that those categories for the pax industry are for a tiny portion of the group. At UPS and most at FDX are all WB pay.

You obviously love to troll and thats cool. If this is truly how you feel then why are you still around? Other places have been hiring. Why haven't you left? Oh thats because you are one of those bags full of wind. Im sure your the type who constantly complains but never does anything to help. You have all the answers type. Ive flown with a few of you at FDX and my previous legacy gig. All talk and no walk. If the grass is greener then get to walking big boy!!!

Barney, head into town. Otis is on the loose. Keep your bullet in your pocket.
