Got this announcement from Delta today, couldn't help but think that General Lee will be bidding this line from now on.
He will finally get to go back to LBB to rekindle the flame with the chick that dumped him after the one night back in college when he experimented with being heterosexual...
Just kidding!
I just wanted to pull some of the cockroaches out of the woodwork.
A little turnabout for all the House passes FAA Reauthorization Bill threads that the APAAD doooooouchebags keep posting.
Tic Toc, MFs.

APA President Captain Ralph Hunter, Legislative Affairs Committee Chairman First Officer Keith Champion and APA's Washington, D.C. consultants Susan Williams and Linda Dorfee-Flaherty met with FAA Administrator Marion...
13 new hires started today. Seniority number 4683 is now the caboose. It will be interesting to see if this will indeed be the last class for a couple of months.
I checked the training letter (each aircraft) and there is no listing for them yet, so I don't know which seats they got...
Ok, now that I have everybody's attention, I have a plea to the FedEx drivers out there in cyberspace.
Please keep in mind that we are in contract negotiations and there is no telling who might be trolling on these boards and reading the stuff we write.
In light of that, boasting about making...
In today's Commercial Appeal (Memphis newspaper) there is a story about all the voluntary cuts the workers at NW are giving the company. Ths story starts on page one below the fold and tells about the pilots and FAs giving back $432 million and the ticket agents, rampers and baggage handlers...
Sorry to start a new thread but I didn't want to continue the debate about the sim stuff in the last FedEx thread.
Just thought I would pass along that I heard today that the seat bid would come out on Aug 5th. That was from flight ops folks who seemed to be in the know, but of course there...
23 new hires started class today, 24 started last Monday. Good news, please keep them coming! Another good month for hiring!
Anybody from either of the classes care to let us know the breakdown on what seats were offered and/or any good rumors from the schoolhouse?
Welcome aboard to...
Got this email tonight from the union. It is a press release describing a meeting between IPA and ALPA reps about contract negotionations at both MAJOR, Part 121 (cargo carrying) airlines. Thought it might be interesting for folks to see.

For Immediate Release
January 28, 2005...
A Coast Guard H-60 helo crashed last night while conducting a Search and Rescue mission. There was a crew of 4 on the helo and evidently 6 people who they had hoisted off a sinking freighter. All of the CG crewmembers survived and have been recovered, however as far as I know right now the 6...
Sixteen pilots started new hire training at FedEx last Monday, Nov 29th. The last seniority number assigned was 4300. Another class starts on Jan 3rd, although I don't know how many are in that class. I would expect a class on the 10th as well if they go back to the staggered starts that they...
Class of 16 started on Nov 1st. Rumors had been around that there might be one big class in Nov, like the class of 24 they had 2 years ago. It appears that those rumors were incorrect, but the good news (rumor anyway) is that there might be another class this month.
I heard today that there...
Well, I was hoping to report that the classes in October were up to 16 people per class, but there were only 12 per class. I guess the rumors of bigger class sizes were just rumors for now. The Oct classes started on the 4th and the 11th, last seniority number assigned was 4268. Those are...
I have heard a lot of talk about a Preferential Bidding System (PBS) at FedEx and that the company is really going to push for it during our contract negotiations next year. On the board here I have seen a lot of different views about whether PBS is a good thing or bad thing. I'm not sure I...
I recently overheard a management pilot say that we have 60 people in the pool currently, and that flight management was trying to convince company management that we needed to bring them onboard. Revenue is tight these days and there is of course resistance to bringing on new hires while...
Southwest and FedEx are moving up the list of most admired companies.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2003--FORTUNE announced today that Wal-Mart, the Arkansas-based retail giant, is No. 1 on the magazine's annual...
I was wondering if anybody knows if you are allowed to fly with contacts. I've got a physical coming up and I'm afraid that my time of 20-20 may be just about over. I don't like wearing sunglasses much and I'm sure I won't like having to wear glasses if I end up needing them. Contacts might...
I've been getting a lot of questions from members of the forum and thought that perhaps some other folks out there looking for flying jobs or Uncle Sam funded flight training might want to consider the CG.
If you are a graduate of a military flight training program you could get a direct...
Hopefully the solid increase in international volume and the modest growth in domestic will encourage the company to continue to buy those MD-11s and start interviewing again soon. This was off the news page on the FedEx website.
FedEx Corp. recorded net income for its fiscal second quarter...
I was in the AOC today and was told that we would be starting a class of 24 (twice the normal size lately) on Nov 18th! Evidently the pool is around 85 right now. How about that for some good news!
