welcome, it’s a great job, but seriously we aren’t quite that awesome. I mean we are pretty great, but there is a firm limit to how many beers I’ll buy on a layover. Once I’m puking, you’re cut off

That is downright bizarre. Maybe Legacy guys who thought they were hitting the street, then calculated otherwise? Even then, I can't feature wanting to ride out the vagaries of fate in the pax world over what looks like milk and honey to the horizon in freight. Dunno, but if there's a reason in the world not to move heaven and earth to be at brown or purple, my crystal ball is definitely broken.

I don’t think anyone is concerned. Just trying to figure out what they’re thinking, that’s a never ending job. It’s a great place to be, the crews here cannot be beat. Welcome in a month! Beers and dinner on me if we meet up on the road!

2 had offers from both UPS and Fedex. Guess where they went/going? 🤔

Feel your pain rocket man, Elton John, I mean Bob. Got a bud who flew the 747-200/400, dreamlifter for 10 years and current JB captain who can’t get a look.

Had multiple JA calls every day and have never taken one, ever.

No, not really. We’re just being pilots.

On pilot forums you can always find the very best doctors, lawyers, stock brokers, tax advisors and CEOs. ..oh, and sometimes we fly too. ;-)

Seriously though, welcome onboard, you’ll love it here.

Interesting. Can’t say I blame them though.

FedEx seniority progression:
B757 Captain: Sep 2018 hire (Narrow body pay scale)
A300 Captain: May 2017 hire. (Wide body pay scale)
