Well you also posted this on our announcement of 270 new airplanes.

“Woooo! That narrowbody upgrade!”

So tell me how your United buddies are getting informed… looks totally unsolicited and envious.
You are spending way to much time on UAL forum not to be interested in us. Not a good way to get internal recs I should say.

By staying current on industry news that means I'm envious? They wanted to know widebody upgrade times at FedEx, based on the large order of narrowbody aircraft at United. We all make decisions in this industry based on several factors. They were doing their due diligence. Further, I will spend as much time as I need here to correct your misinformation. You can do the same thing with me to make sure we get it right.

Dude, I still don’t know what misinformation you are talking about… don’t get offended because FX pilots don’t like the culture and want to come here… They are right to feel that way just like you are right if you like it there. I’m sure we have pilots here who dislike our culture, hate the company and want out. That by no means is misinformation, you really need to put things into perspective.
This is just a job, I was just saying what I was told. I have no idea how your company is, thank god I don’t have to find that out.
All I’m saying is I would prefer one or the other if I had to.
So chill out and enjoy the ride, you can’t stop pilots liking or disliking where they work, it’s a plane fact!
You don’t have to make people like FX here that’s not your job! Leave that to management.

Seems like we have reached an impasse. Beers on me!

Ya know....

You’ll not see a lot of UAL guys over on the Fed Ex page posting superfluous BS about Fed Ex. So unless you are an incredibly insecure Fed Ex dude or a total poser its kind of unbelievable that you’re here.

Can you expand on what the FedEx guys have said they don’t like about the culture?

We’ve had a dozen or so UAL folks come over to UPS this year, that’s saying something…

Maybe the pandemic scared them as they were on the bottom of our list? Will be interesting to see how many stay.

Data sample: During the past 3 months at purple every single new hire class had a mix of pilots from United, AA, and Delta Airlines. Maybe the pandemic is still scaring them our way 🤷🏼‍♂️, if so keep them coming! we need all the qualified bodies we can get 👍
