Thanks for the info.
Wiggins doesn't have an exclusive on that, all the UPS feeders do it that way. It's just how it is, until they all get together and decide they don't want to do it that way. UPS feed is an entry level job. FedEx feed is not.

FedEx wasn't an entry level job before, but it is now. The industry in overwhelmingly short of pilots in the cargo feeder industry. Due to this, things will be improving for the pilots in the near future. The recent posts are for EMB110 positions in Buffalo and Plattsburgh. The PBG run is likely to Syracuse and Potsdam, the Buffalo based pilot is likely to fly to Plattsburgh everyday. UPS routes.
