Leave SWA for Fed Ex
It depends... FDX is way different than LUV, you have to be ready for that. Riding the panel is not what I would call fun, but depending on your timing/desire you might not be on it more than a year...at night, up hill both ways. I commute to FDX and it is not an issue, though it can be... -

Nwa Recalls
drivel I had to read through a lot of griping to find some useful information, thanks Holmie. I'm constantly amazed at how much pilots b1tch and complain about other pilots...what is wrong with us? -

SWA raising hiring mins
Because.... From my casual observation of this thread, I was guess at the very least, his "because" is because if he is in the pool at FedEx, he has a bird-in-hand, where as it sounds as if he hasn't even interviewed with Southwest. Just a guess. -

FedEx Interview!!!!
Now you did it Now you guys did it...all that griping and now dad (Albie) came in a talked sense like he always does. One quick remark about a sense of entitlement: Does every pilot who reaches a certain level in their career feel a sense of entitlement? He11 yes. If you don't you are full of... -

Potential financial disaster looming for FedEx?
UPS ain't cheaper and... I recently sent 2 bicycles I sold on ebay. I looked at all of the shipping options and FedEx Ground was the cheapest by about $30 (about 25% less than UPS). If you are concerned about being able to pick up your package at the counter then I think you have shipping... -

FedEx Walk Through
Your sponsor has to set up a "pre interview", the grip and grin. You need a sponsor, a FedEx pilot, for this process. -

How many Delta Pilots thinking of leaving?
ASSumptions There are assumptions being made here that need to be quashed. Just because someone flies for another airline does NOT mean they didn't want FedEx. As majors go (went), whoever hires you first, you go to. If Joe Pilot wanted Fedex, but didn't know enough (or the right) people to... -

FedEx Walk Through
Grip & Grin Feb 2005. Call for interview last week for October. Military, furloughed NWA. -

would you take this offer?
We do it to ourselves Dudes, Having a military background may give me a different view on things...of course, I am now furloughed so I do feel the pain. I would NOT pay for the training in hopes of getting paid back. If I felt a certain type would help me out, I'd find a way to pay for it...- Seeniner

which palm pilot?
Ipaq Guy I've had an Ipaq for years and it is great. BUT, I'm now planning to get the Blackberry 7100, it is awesome, although not as flexible with the aftermarket software. In the 5 or so years I've used PDA's, 99% of my use is Calendar, Contact list and voice recorder. With the 7100 I'll be...- Seeniner

type of work found?
My own things...plus After getting furloughed, there were a few routes to take for us former military types: Hop back into active duty military (not for me) Jump into the Guard or Reserve (not for me initially) Do something else (my route). I have done a combo of the above. First I played...- Seeniner

Furloughed time limit to get a call back
7 years at NWA. I was hoping they would address this in negotiations for the DAL codeshare...instead we got pass priveledges. I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I can count on one hand the number of times I'll use pass priveledges. -

United's service at core of its problems
Gee, I'm confused One article's title talks about service as the problem, but service is hardly mentioned. The other article shows how great United's service has been this year. Neither of the articles mention how much UAL spent trying to buy USAir, nor how much was wasted with that... -

Jet Blue Productivity Advantage
My guess is no one with half a brain thinks JetBlue actually caused any of this current pain, but the title of this string does lend one to make comparisons to said company. No doubt the CEO's are making too much money, but if anyone thinks for a second that JetBlue's CEO is just yucking it up... -

NetJets Interview for a SWA Poolie
Bird in Hand. Isn't there a story that goes along with turning down a flying job while waiting on another? The classic delay your training date with one airline hoping your favorite airline will call next week, then your favorite airline stops hiring, and you now have to wait a few months at... -

Jet Blue Productivity Advantage
Curious: How much would a year one or two UAL A-320 capt make, if that were ever possible? How much of a raise does a JetBlue pilot get each year? What will a 12 year JB capt make? How often do 2 captains fly together on JB? It sounds like there are a lot of captains there. Does anyone... -

US Rejects United bid for loan guarante
EMB, I have trouble believing civilian pilots are the minority, but I don't have have any data on this point. If you are running into a lot of military folks during IOE, my guess is they were not military pilots (helo maybe), otherwise they would, more than likely, have gone to a major (up... -

US Rejects United bid for loan guarante
Interesting stuff folks. It is amazing how we pilots know it all. EMB guy: I don't claim to know much about anything, but it is my guess that most major pilots worked for a regional at one point. What amazes me about us "professional" pilots is it seems all that matters is "I've got mine"... -

Airline Pilot Survey
1. I love the whole thing about flying. 2. 14 years to a major. 3. Being an airline pilot was fun while it lasted. I never got out of training, so I never experienced airline life. The part I did experience was about what I expected. 4. I lost my job. 5. Diversify. Like the others... -

Delta Air to Unveil Plans For a Low-Cost
I don't claim to know much about the airline industry, but: -"owning" a hub airport, with all the local city's tax incentives, etc does seem like it would/could be cheaper than having a bunch of "skeleton" operations at many airports. -The "full-service" airlines need to get back to providing... -
