Word, guess it wasn’t obvious to them.

You mean like FedEx has always done? If you came here expecting to fly all daytime flying after year one, you didn't do enough research on this company and you bought in and were influenced by the $$$ all your bros were bragging about during COVID.

We actually had a fair amount of WB day flying thru MEM and IND before the postal contract. Go look at a 95 96 bidpack for the Airbus.

So what information can we use for determining where we want to work? Historical bidpacks or just a paper from Yale...

Probably been awhile since you interviewed, but there's this thing called the Internet. In addition, jumpseating/commuting on said airline, professional connections, job fairs, professional aviation conferences.

Not sure what your original comment was even getting at. The underlying constant has always been: FedEx flies overnight. If one chose to ignore that fact because of what their bros told them during COVID, then they didn't do enough research.

Again, not saying someone shouldn't think about other options if they don't like the flying here. Just don't complain when the music stopped behind you. That's every airline, and FedEx is no different in the timing aspect of this career.

Again.. that's [email protected] for all your offboarding needs... and fear not lads, your info will remain "confidential".

Total BS. There was never any day WB flying prior to the postal contract. But yep, look up a 30 year old Bid pack. There was hardly any WB in the fleet in 1995. There was very little international flying in 1995. And there were maybe 2000 pilots then.

A mole! Double agents, defectors. Guys are trapped in an abusive marriage with the company. They are treated badly, but in for life. The company doesn't want them to retire, but also is offended and vengeful if they catch wind of a junior member's plans to defect to another carrier. The recruiters are also deeply offended if a recruit in the pipeline has apps out or interviews somewhere else!

Anybody here back in '98-'99 era? Things don't seem to be repeating necessarily... but rhyming, perhaps?

Boeing has revealed that seven 777 freighters were ordered last month to give the aircraft manufacturer a total of 35 777F orders this year.

The US-based company recorded the orders in its Airplane Gross Orders report, although like last month, when 11 777Fs were ordered, all seven of the aircraft have been purchased by an unidentified customer(s).

Boeing also delivered one 767-300F to FedEx in October.
