Yep, Dadof6, I'm happy my buddy got hired at Delta. For him it will be an easier commute, and he will see lots of movement quickly. Great guy, pleasure to fly with, but our geniuses decided that he was not the right "fit" for FedEx.
I hope they have their genius matrix properly tweaked, because we are canceling flights every night due to a lack of FOs. What is that saying..."The perfect is the enemy of the good" or something?
Management needs to figure out that good enough really IS good enough, and to hire a bunch of guys!

I tried to drop a trip the other day on the 757 and for the first time in the 8 years I've been here it was DECLINED~
Fedex is short of pilots. Me? I'm enjoying my summer with my KIDS!!!!
You know, I really need to spend more time with them....

Delta, United, and American have roughly three times the number of pilots as FDX.
I will say that your friend will enjoy much quicker "local" seniority or base/aircraft seniority.

It may seem like a little thing, but crew happiness and goodwill goes a long way towards making the freight move on time. This poor layout will be with us for decades. Also, by changing the layout, they will be able to get more Jumpseats on the plane. This will pay dividends for the corporation over the long run (and probably even pay for the lav move) by having less people call in sick! I already know of a few instances where crewmembers who couldn't get a Jumpseat developed a cold.

However, it does seem like there are quite a few trips in open time on certain aircraft.
