Fed Ex Pay in Training?

[Sppedmode]

Can anyone confirm that you are only paid $2000 gross in training for the first 3-4 months until you hit the line. I've heard it from a couple guys that interviewed this year, but, just wanted to know...still waiting for the call after the M&G...thanks

That is correct. I know it sucks, but there is a mentality here of "We've always done it this way, I had to do it this way, so therefor you WILL do it this way". Count on a solid 3 months at 2k/mo and it might even be longer if you are in the MD11/A300 program (due to Intl training etc). About 3/4 of my class did their sims off site (ie- continuous per diem and hotel room) which increased our pay by about 1k for the month of our sim training.

Good luck-
Pappy

Yep, it sucks. So does first year pay. Just try to focus on the future.

Yes, training pay sucks but first year pay (@45k) isn't really that bad compared to A LOT of other places.

It accelerates pretty quickly so suck it for 1 year...you can always put momma back to work:blush:

Arghhhhhh... it really sux. I heard it's around 770 or so every 2 weeks. Plus no hotel for training. Studying in a crash pad can't be the easiest of things.

It's all relative...looking at the world through Comair eye-glasses and after spending 40+ hours a week sitting in a cube making software for gov't contractors...and you see things differnetly.

As far as I'm concerned...I HIT THE F*&^%$G LOTTERY!!!!!!! Hell, I'll pay THEM for my training...:nuts:

It's all relative....

As everything else in this profession, its all governed by seniority. Half the training slots were in MIA and half in MEM, so being Jan I thought it wise and paired up with the #3 most senior person in class and we were on our way to South Beach during the height of Spring Break!

All the best-
