Me too. I think almost all of the captains you fly with would be happy to do the same thing. Pilots on probation don't pay for food or drink if they fly and eat dinner with me. I'm happy to tell people anything they would like to know, and I must be doing okay because someone just told me I was "legendary" as far as scheduling goes.....I think that was a compliment.

Highly suspicious that someone would post about this on their first post, and the next following post was supposedly a newhire lauding it....on their first post.

Any pilot at FedEx would be glad to share whatever they've learned with you for free. In fact, you generally can't get us to shut up about it.

As suspicious as it may sound I have no connection to the previous poster. I am a brand new FO that just finished BI last week and still was looking for answers so I decided to join here and start searching. I saw that post and thought I'd share my .02 since I just finished indoc.

As for layovers and learning tricks of the trade from all of you that have been doing this for years, I can't wait.

Then, welcome. Trust me, we are happy to share. You will be inundated with advice, probably whether you want it or not. Free of charge.

Now that's funny.

Don't forget to include the "how to park in a not-real parking spot but right next to the entrance/exit of long term parking".



For us military guys- the contract is important. Read it and refer to it often. There-subject covered.

I personally think what the OP talks about is a good idea- I think most of us came out if BI with more questions than answers. I also agree that ALPA would be a good resource, a "gouge book" of some sort like I've seen for the Hong Kong domicile, or just the 'ole "figure it out as you go along" will have to do. But not a paid class.

Anyone know what happened to the Pilot New Guide? I lost it when I transitioned to my new iPad. The FDA section on PFC makes many references to it, including it should be available on SCL, but I can't find it.

What's up with the "Millennium Falcon" listed as aircraft type on the pilot credentials website? I listed 2 hours SIC time thinking it would get app pulled....

Really...I only got a little less than 12 parsecs of SIC time. Can't remember the Captains name, but his Wookie FO is already in upgrade training at Delta.
