I just saw on History Channel that Hunter Ellis is hosting a new show... so does he still work at Fedex? if so, how does he find the time?
 
Hunter doesn't show up the the master seniority list so he isn't active.

I wonder if he's not going to kick himself in the butt for leaving that job when his TV career (which probably doesn't pay as well) ends..

best of luck to him either way.

Your joking right?

no, generally TV work is like airline work... most of it pays poorly, and the top jobs are the ones that pay the top money. For example a local TV anchor job in a major metro area pays about $150,000-$200,000 year, and those are the top jobs in local TV.. The on location or street TV reporters can earn as little as $30K and as much as 80K in certain cities. My sister did a lot of TV work a few years ago to include Extra, and ESPN and was making about $40K/yr for her work. She said that it's rare to get paid well until you get to a prime time/network spot.

I can't see how he's going to earn 30 years earnings potential at Fedex (easily worth 10 million in today's dollars) hosting shows on a cable network. But like I said, good luck..
 
How do I get that job? I have a beak nose too and am actually taller than him. I cant say repeatedly that I flew the "FA/18" in my last job, but than again, I would be an actor so maybe I could?

Does Jared still work at ATA as a dispatcher? If so, does subway cater the charters?

True, but think of this. How much more a$$ do you think the man can pull by being on T.V.?

Now I'm not saying that a rich FedEx pilot can't pull alot of tail in Mecka-red-necka or anywhere else in the world they go. But balsting your face all over television is one way to get alot.

Jared never was a dispatcher, he worked in the finance department in some financial capacity or other.

And no, he doesn't work here anymore.

I never thought of it that way... sure, ok.

It's so simple, a caveman could do it.

Ok, that was uncalled for! I'm calling the FI.com moderators to register a formal complaint, and then I'll contact my lawyer, yoga instructor and therapist as well.

You "homo" sapians need to give us more respect!

;)
 
Looks like someone woke up on the rock side of the rock this morning.

It's not all about the money you know. Ah fcuk it, you are right, what was I thinking? It IS all about the money.

Now get back to scatching pictures of cavemen humping buffalos on a rock in a cave in southern France.
 
Do you think you could have invented the wheel a little sooner for us??

I don't know what kind of union, scope, contract, or Low cost caveman issues they had to deal with back then. But I'm sure somewhere there was a bottom feeding neandrathal hore willing to do it for cheaper.

I'll give that an Amen.

That's not the only street work your sister did to make ends meet.


This is too easy (much like your sister).;)

I know you mean that to be funny, so I won't get upset. It's not like you know me or my sister, so for me to take it personally would be silly.
 
ZING!

Thanks for having a thick skin. We need more of that around here.
 
Don't you wish you could get a job at FedEx and then quit? By the way, did you know he flew an F-18?:)

I know, he's nuts if you ask me... I personally would say screw the TV shows on Cable. Its' not like the guy is doing 60 Minutes or Anchoring the CBS news or anything..

Oh well, best of luck to him..


Oh-Ryan: thanks, in 5 years or more of coming hear, I've learned to pick my battles.
