Really??? You would guarantee this? You are sure he can hold IND 76 FO in the first year and work no more than 1 or 2 days in a row?

Between this and the VB plan, you'll sell any piece of BS!!

Personally I laugh when someone at FedEx says there is a schedule for everyone. I think to myself, have you worked anywhere else?

I think our flying schedules are quite simple compared to a major airline. And since we, thankfully, don't have PBS, you can't build your own schedule like you can at an airline with PBS. That is up to the company and the SIG. You only get to pick your line, or play the lottery in our own version of PBS.

I think you're framing the statement wrong.

People say that in response to the (quite wide) outside perception among pilots that all FedEx does is non-commutable night hub turns, and the belief that you'll never see day flying unless you're super senior.

It isn't a saying that is trying to make Purple as uniquely more flexible and varied than the other 121 career options, but rather that it is just *as* flexible and varied as the other shops.

I have. Had a big blue and gold globe on the tail. Would take FDX line bidding/conflict/vacation over their PBS any day.

I think there really is something for everyone here. Fly PM out and backs here, would take a decade or more in the right seat of the 737 or Airbus to even get close there. And still, it wouldn’t be all out and backs. Double DH’s? No way there. One trip a month 777? Good luck holding that anytime soon at the U.
