I can only assume guys with huge makeup banks are guys flying for the military or guys that have been on the property for a very long time. I don't think we need to compare makeup hours since others do not have the military as a second source of income.

Negative. Just 3 or 4 years of being on the bottom of the list, getting R lines with 7 - 10 days of carry over and protecting min days off. All those dropped R days go into the makeup bank.
 
Well..we were having a "mine is bigger than yours contest", and so far I'm winning. Let me gloat in the moment as that doesn't happen to me very much. :D

And yes--I drop a lot of trips to fly the F-15. With our manning, I rarely even use the "mil leave" option but just straight drop the trips--less work for my military admin folks and the company as well. I also dropped some trips this year to be home for Christmas and spring break--first time in 4 years as part time mil/airline pilot or EVER as military guy I've had about all the holidays off. I really enjoyed the time, and especially after the back issues last year I realized how I can always make money tomorrow, but time with the kids is fleeting and precious.

No tongue in cheek here or mixed messages--I hope everyone gets to the point finanancially they don't have to work every day and can enjoy their family time. I have really enjoyed this last year--that back surgery detour was a real eye opener...

How is the seniority established at Fedex?

I'm calling BS newfed! 4 years?? The last 2 quoted posts were by you on 10/1/04. That's a year and a half. In reality do you even work for FedEx? Your original post on this thread smells of flamebait.

CJ-

PS If you flew FX corporate prior, I would find it very hard to believe you wouldn't know how seniority is established.

425 in 1.5 years...almost on pace with Albie!

316:03 in only 5 months on the line. And honestly, I'd have flown more back if there'd been anything in open time!
 
Make-Up bank

Now Albie, I hate to do this to you, bro. Just checked, all that desire to spend more time with my 2 small kids has netted me 1100+ hours in less than 5 years. Someday, I'll get back to wanting to make some more money. Right now, I'm having a blast with the family!! No military time for me - just a spouse that works a bit when I'm home with the boys.
 
Once again I lose--and to a civilian background guy without an ANG job--geez! :laugh:

I figure you best enjoy it when you can. A year or more ago, it was impossible to move/drop anything, and even a legitimate mil leave request got a phone call from an ACP. Now you can drop with impunity. With the "pool" not being drained and no classes since Feb, we might end up with a move back towards tougher problems dropping trips--so I'm enjoying it while I can expecting as guys get trained off on the new training letter (whenever that shows up...) that dropping may again get more difficult.
