I don't need perspective. I can already see that you feel entitled. |
This has to be trolling. If not, it would make for a great addition to the millennial oddity thread. “New FO tells CA he threw boxes for 10 yrs and should have been senior to the CA because he was hired at Fedex first.” :D
Or at the very least, he’d make for an epic “why I left the industry” YouTube video. “Can you believe they didn’t give me 10 yrs pilot seniority for all the sweat equity hard labor I put in as a part time package handler?” :eek: |

I was being polite and **** earlier saying thanks for the response, then you go calling me entitled. Just trying to figure it out man, just like I’m sure at one point in your life you were too. Have a good day. Personally I would hire a guy who worked his ass off for the company for ten years and flew for another company(working two jobs) over a guy who just worked one job and has more hours. Just my opinion.
You didn't just simply thank me for my response, you *****ed about it not being fair. You also imply that you are working your a$$ off and the pilot hired before you didn't. Bring that attitude to a job interview at FedEx and see what happens. But hey, you can still have that part time job throwing boxes, working your a$$ off.:rolleyes::eek: And to bring you back to your original question, it wasn't about getting hired or an interview from within, it was about jumping over someone in seniority just because you threw boxes part time. If you don't understand the difference, you have a lot to learn. Most, if not all of the pilots working at FedEx made sacrifices to get here. That is why you come across as entitled. |

Vacation bidding (just like anything schedule related) is based on your seniority as a pilot.
Every pilots sick time is the same. |

Not ****ed at all. Totally understand that everyone makes sacrafices. You are spot on with all the answeres you gave me I was just trying to figure it out. I want the most qualified person for the job to get the job first. I’m not trying to cheat any system or cut in line. I get that the company seniority is not the same as pilot seniority. I assume your vacation and sick time would go by when you were hired at the company correct?

Don't listen to these guys telling you that you don't get to keep your seniority. When you interview for a pilot position, just tell them that you expect to keep your seniority, and you want to go ahead and be a Captain because after all, you have earned it! If you tell the interviewer that, he or she has to honor your wishes. (insert extreme sarcasm emoji here) |

Wait so if I want to be the next CEO I just need to start throwing boxes and wait until my number is up?
