Has anyone on here left FedEx for United?

Can anyone shed light on possible differences?

Work rules? Payrates? Trip Length? Junior fleet?

Thanks

FWIW, I was hired by FDX but took the United class date (3 weeks earlier) - and haven't looked back. Both companies have their pro's and con's...

Shoot me a PM, let's chat.

Which update is that? I can’t find anything that says that.

And along those lines, just curious why you’re looking to change. No hate, just haven’t met someone at FDX wanting to go fly pax. Would be interesting to hear your logic. Thanks.

Just me guessing, but not everyone cut out for long haul international flying. He got assigned the 777 and realized being away from mama 10+ days in row won’t cut it. Or got assigned the A300 and the night train won’t cut it. :rolleyes: So why did you apply with FedEx? Because they were hiring?:rolleyes:

I’m guessing from your avatar and handle that you’re not from the regional world. Allow me to summarize that experience:

1) Apply and interview EVERYWHERE.
2) Thank sweet baby Jesus when you get out.
3) Work on getting that ultimate dream job.

For some, step 3 is achieved coincident with step 2 (myself included). I’m not surprised at all that many others keep looking, some in ways that you or I may not understand. His dream job may not be yours.

To each their own.
