Glad to hear your company is "not so off the wall" and "not an old boys club". Neither is mine. As an OUTSIDER you have no idea what it is like to interview and fly for FedEx - that's unless you were turned down or fired from us. All you hear are stories on the road or on the internet.
Enjoy your job - I'm loving mine!
You can doubt all you like.
Yep, you're right about one thing - not having any idea of what it is like to interview/fly for Fedex. That was automatically denied me some time ago when I asked around - not applied - to see what the deal was. When I found out what the real criteria was for hiring (from a Fedex Capt who offered to see whether it was worth my time applying) and not having any buds there. He categorically told me I would be wasting my time making a formal application since I did not have the 3 internal recs. His words, not mine. Therefore, I was able to make an informed decision whether to pursue a formal application or not.
Seems to me that's pretty much a closed shop!
Also, it was not my one and only iron in the fire at the time, so I moved on and got what I was looking for elsewhere. Nothing strange in that, is there? Why do you always assume the worst in your posts?
Turned down or fired? That's rich! How can you be turned down if you are denied an opportunity in the first place??!! Your logic is somewhat flawed. I've never worked for your company and I've never been turned down - unless you call not having 3 buds a turn down, in which case, you are correct again.....
Again, since you don't get it, I have NO desire - might have once but not now - to work for Fedex for the reasons given. It is not the only airline in the world you know and pilots can be content elsewhere too. Why is that so hard to fathom????
And yes, you're right again. All I hear is stories on the road, from the internet and folks like you and that FDX Capt. Seems like who do you believe and what do you believe??!!
Have a great and purple day!
