Fedex Hiring Mins when hiring resumes...

[Data]

Just trying to settle a bet with a 23 year old RETARD (and you have to say it like David Spade does in Tommy Boy) that I met thru a friend of my wife's...

Here's the scenario...

ATP Grad
Zero turbine
Zero Dual Given
400 Hours
Currently part time Fish Spotting in a 172
Smart Ass
'Friend's' father will get him on when hiring resumes...

What are his chances? I told him that unless he's really, really, really good on his knees, he's a longshot. Was I close?

 

[pilotgolfer]

I'm pretty sure GoJet is the only ones that hire retards. (no offense to the mentally challenged).

 

[propsarebest]

Is his friend jesus christ?

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

The guy is young and motivated (and misguided...)... why not help him get instead of slamming him?

Oh I tried for the first 15 minutes, but it soon became apparent that I didn't know what I was talking about. Much like politics! Anyway, since when does a 40 year old know more than a 23 year old?

It appears a 23 year old is getting to you.....

Let him believe his pipe dream so he'll fall even harder when reality hits him. That will give him the appropriate attitude adjustment he needs.

 

[Nolife]

I don't think that even Jesus could get him on at FredEx.

 

[GSXR600]

Sure he can get on with FDX! What are you guys talking about?. IMHO he is over qualify.
In fact, he doesn't even need any kind of experience. Here are departments that he might be assigned to:

House keeping (cleaning the crew rooms)
Shipping: (loading boxes to delivery trucks)
Maintenance: (Assisting certify mechanics with heavy duty maintenance of vehicles)
Mail: ( messenger on bike)

Did I forget one?

So much for the profession.... treat young guys that don't know better like punks and then chide them when they act that way....

C'mon guys... you can do better....

Jeez, relax Rez, we're just giving him (well deserved) crap out of earshot. If he ever shows signs of humility and actually listens to good advice I'm sure somebody will gently set him straight.

Think Flounder in Animal House.

"I heard that legacies get offered bids automatically."

"Well, usually. Unless the pledge in question is a real closet case - like Fred."

I paraphrase.

I flown with too many 20 somethings that were bitter because they were treated poorly. This thread promotes those bad attitudes.

Jeeze, go buy yourself a sense of humor. You'd think that they were talking about your son on here. We've all struggled in this industry. I think most people are just saying that he should have to pay his dues like everybody else. 20 year olds are supposed to be treated poorly. That's the way it goes, you've gotta earn respect.

Not at what airlines are pay these days!

Who decided that 20 year olds are supposed to be treated poorly? Where did you learn to think like this? Can you logically justify your attitude?

That's the way it goes, you've gotta earn respect

This isn't about them... it is about defining yourself... simply what you are saying is, you get to treat others with disrespect simply because of age and experience. You are disrespectful. Why do you choose to be?


The orignal poster is a 40 something that seems to have an issue with a 20 year old.....being a 20 year old..... what does the original poster expect a 20 year old to act like? A 40 year old? Why, when he's 20.

Again.. you can treat the up and coming professionals like professionals or you can be unprofessionals and treat them poorly. You get to chose how you will act.

Hey remember "boycapt" who used to post here, hired at Fedex at age 23 one year out of ERAU. Thought it was because of his skill and desire, and not a fluke of luck and timing.

 

[CUBMAN]

Rez is right. Just because as younger pilots we (or some of us) were treated poorly or even unfairly, which I certainly was, does not mean that we in turn should return the same level of disrespect. That is not honorable or respectable. Try to set the younger ones straight with doses of realism and let them figure the rest out for themselves.

 

[pilotyip]

Realism?

Is realism like reality? we all know that reality has no place on FI, posting reality is lible to get called bad names, like management, anti-union, or against the brotherhood whatever that is.

You're a 40-year old posting on FI about this??? Have the Regionals institutionalized our nation's pilot's to this extreme???

Get some grapes, man.

Put this egg to nest.

Well, I am sure this kid got a participation trophy at every level, except now when reality sets in!
