Don't forget that $2000 is Gross Pay. We had checks as low as $425 for 1/2 month with some extra deductions. Should last 3 months, maybe more if your class gets split. $200 to $350 for crash pad + food + gas = Be prepared! Great people, Great place but your family will find little comfort or humor during training!

WW,
17 years and 4 months is 17 years for retirement, as is 17 years, 11 months and 29 days.
The answer to your second question is: it depends on who you are and what you've done (or have not done) during your FedEx career. The company, like many companies, will help you stay on board, if they see value in you and your performance. On the other hand, if you've been a trouble maker along the way, you can be assured that when you reach 65, unless the rules have again changed, you will be retired.

No, but it should be in our next round of negotiations.
Same training pay since 1984.
YGTBSM!
Who's fault is that?
Answer: Not the companys.
Solution: Pay the reserve equivalent of CHs at the first year pay rate.
We gave the company a longer probationary period in the last TA/Contract ---- and should have asked for this in return.
With the above solution, we will not have to renegotiate "training pay" each contract --- it will go up at X% with all other X% pay raises.
Let's treat new hires like the highly qualified professionals they are, and properly welcome them and their families into one of the most profitable companies in the industry.

Personally I'd rather get accepted fares fixed. That and other improvements for all of us will have a greater affect on a new hires financial well being in the long run

Both are issues of how mgt should treat professional pilots fairly and equitably at FEDEX.
(...and for those who argue it's a tiny/inconsequential amount of $$ --- then OK, just fix it. But in reality, the current $2K per month just sets a tone that new guys are lucky to be here. They should be quiet and just appreciate whatever they're getting. Is that "pilot mindset" good over the long run?? It clearly is for one side of the negotiating table).

I heard calls are going out for testing again. Anyone care to share their experiences at FedEx with regard to time frame for call, qualifications, military or civilian? I'd love to see where I stack up.
