Why does FedEx insist on being put in the "majors" board??

Just like me harties, have they forgot where they came from and what they do?? You fly CARGO maties, get use to it!!

If you wanted to fly for a textbook "major", they why didn't you go to a legacy carrier??

Oh, that's right, your military buddies got you the job there!!

That's how I got in Her Majesty's Navy, so I can't talk!!


You know, "Pirates of the Carribean 2" coming out soon, and part 1 is on DVD.....you should talk about that....on a different forum!!!!:rolleyes:

TRY "insistence" dope. Hard to do the whole clever gay pirate wordplay game when you spell like a 5th grader.
Oh yeh, and if you need to wish your mom a Happy Mother's Day you can IM me. I got that Ho over here right now. Got her up doing the dishes now, she just finished cleaning my pipes and shivering me timber. She ain't much to look at so I wrapped that ugly mug of hers up in a Fedex Courier Pak envelope and cut a hole in it for her mouth. She likes to whine about her worthless son so I have a purple and orange rubber ball I plug her pie hole with when I'm not plugging it myself. I have her in a purple thong, not bad, but that nasty camel toe is hanging out either side. She told me to say Hello to you and I can tell she does love you. She has that "Feathersword" tattoo on the small of her back and I'm doing my best to keep it moisturized for her. STFU Loser.

By far one of the most useful and informative 4 pages of information that I have had the pleasure of reading on Flightinfo.

Fedex Cargo/Major issue: Check
Eating M&M's off the floor: Check
Gay Pirates: Check
The Wiggles: Check
Cutting a hole in a Fedex Courier Pack for the purpose of fellatio: Check
Potatoe/Potato: Check

What else do we need to cover?
 
Hey Pirate, I'll write you an on-line rec.

Oh wait, I didn't fly with you on active duty.

Yes, the current FedEx hiring policy favors military pilots. The odds of a military guy knowing 3 current FDX pilots is greater than a civilian guy. The point: So what? Last time I checked, military pilots were pretty well trained. Good luck at your next interview.
 
er, I thought the term "major" had to do with how much $$$ a particular company makes... but hey, maybe I'm wrong...
 
I recently flew with this military guy who got upset over the fact that i used a pen with blue ink. I told him that you are not in the military any more and his facial expression was hilarious.

I wouldnt make a general statement that military pilots are better trained more than i would say that civilian pilots have better crm. I met some good pilots and some idiots, they were from all walks of life. Some pilots were engineers and doctors before and some chose to go to the military, it doesnt mean that one is more educated than the other. I went to stanford and had a choice between stanford and couple military schools. I chose stanford because at that time it was the best choice for me.

So what i am saying is get off your high horse and stop wearing your uniform to the local pub.
 
Omigod! I go on a trip, get back, and this thing is still alive??? Die, die!!


And we added the mil vs civilian argument to it, too?

Sigh.

Oh, and I didn't know the pirate thing was a gay thing too, unless you meant butt pirate. Arrrr.....

I'm thinking the original poster of this thread may be on to something. (NO, not ON something, on TO something.) FedEx does not belong on the Majors board any longer. We need to create a Lieutenant Colonels board for FedEx!

(For you Navy boys, that's O-4 and O-5, respectively. :D)

I fly cargo for the other color up the road. One of these days when I get some more heavy-jet international experience, maybe I can be a commercial pilot somewhere.

But in the meantime, I guess I'll have to settle for only $100K a year as a box hauler, with a decent raise each year, I'll just have to get used to my paycheck always hitting the bank on time everytime. The thought of my fully-funded pension and 401K will take some getting used to, as well as not paying very much when I see a doctor or get a prescription filled. And I hope we get some more big airplanes, it's sad when I point to an MD-11 and people ask me when I'll be flying something bigger.

Just admit it Monkey boy, you are sick and tired of when you jumpseat on an "airliner", the pilots asking you if you have your app in with them!
 
My favorite story was when jumping on AirTran and a very pretty, very friendly, very proud of her company FA mentioned to me (after hearing I worked for FedEx)

"..you know, a lot of our guys got their start in cargo..."

Now...I LOVE AirTran, and I thought it was cool this gal was A) very proud of her company and B) trying to give me some encouragement to move on to a better job...

I thought about going into a diatribe about pay, benefits, and "setting her straight" for .01 seconds then just smiled and said "thank you" and mentioned how nice everyone was at Citrus.

So there we were. . . the whole First Class section to ourselves; me the Captain and First Officer. . . . all in uniform. . . . deadheading to somewhere in the Boeing system. . . .

The young F/A does her best "Price is Right" hand wave to present herself to us at the beginning of the Safety Brief. . .

"You guys can just pretend I'm a box. . . .", she says. . .
