Been using it for over a year.

Both at Kinkos and at the local FedEx branch.

I was implying pilots are less likely to take JRM and WDO as opposed to a year ago. You're right there's still pilots here who are available for trips. Just not as likely willing to help the company. This is from what I've observed.

Pretty good one, too. Although I'm pretty sure it's the same discount every other airline has.

Use it all the time. Good at any Kinko's or FedEx location.

^^^Yes, this. Show up, show them your ID, ship away!

I remember an email at least 2-3 years ago about it. See if a base coordinator can find the info. I'm pretty sure there's a code too if you use it online.

Pathetic isn't it?

I'd agree with this. The bright ones have their eyes open and are lobbying for their escape. However, many of those we are hiring these days wouldn't get a nod anywhere else and have low self esteem so they become content. Or they've been indoctrinated by some fll captains that haven't got a clue where the rest of the industry is at these days and also are content because they too have misfit backgrounds.
