FedEx Feeders?

[refplusnone]

I thought all the feeders have the same one year contract per fed EX correct me if i am wrong? Also can you go from one feeder to another once you complete your contract with out signing another?

I don't know about MAC but at Empire when you are hired there is a 18 month contract prorated if you do leave early. When you upgrade there is an additional 12 month contract for that, the same prorate will apply. That being said there have been guys go from one feeder to another, but I'm almost positive that they had completed their contract from the previous feeder. One of our captains that came over from the MAC 135 side had to sign the 18 month contract upon hire here at Empire.

There are come feeders that have agreements between the two of them that if you leave a Van and change companies to the right seat of the F or ATR that you can keep your Van pay while in the right seat so you can build your crew time up before upgrading in the 121 side. Empire however does not participate in this. At least not the best of my knowledge.

Hope this answers your question.

Empire is the only Fed-Ex feeder that forces pilots to sign a terrible contract and harasses its peeps when they quit early.
I chose to stick it out and fight it with a lawyer and Im glad I did. I had my contract invalidated due to the vagueness of the contract Empires history of screwing them up and because a captain was just fired for not signing a contract well after he finished his upgrade and IOE which my attorney has a Fed-Ex administator on record that Empire did not repay them for that loss. When my countersuit is done i'll let you all who are being screwed over have my lawyers number. Hes not cheap but nows theirs a precidence and a good chance you'll put the smack down. BTW, my attorney is MEM based and knows people who know people.

I have no reason to reply other than to throw a drunken post down.
BOOYYAH....

That wasnt me. All cheap bastardos are welcome to use THE BIG ASSS BLING AIR account (that was for all you Idiotacracy fans).
I think the Hoff needs some more Wendy's.

Thanks for the congrats Bling. As for Thunders comment...um OK, I'll leave that one alone.

That F-type is pretty cool. I'm glad to see Fokker Pilot in your description. It's way better than ATR pilot. The F may have some problems but that because its old. The ATR may have some problems but thats because it's designed that way.

mmmmmm wendys. i totally ment it as a compliment just adding some humor to the uprgrade contract bs, but if you plan on staying around then it dosen't matter much. the f is way better than the atr although the atr is easier to fly at least whent he f breaks it breaks and dosen't o wierd stuff that cannot be duplicated. it is also a tank in the ice. which helps a lot down in texas.

How come Wendy's tastes better after a few brewskies or a keg of vodka like in the Hoff's case?
Easier to fly with the A/P on maybe. I dont think there is a worse handflown A/C in service. Or when you click off the A/P and it does a wicked barrel roll. I do miss the F some times but that may be because I don't fly it anymore.
