the way this economy is shaping up I would not worry too much about jumping from plane to plane. instead you might want to worry about that unemployment line that maybe coming to a neighborhood or industry soon. That includes fredex.

I don't think so jmrei. The lighter the loads get for FedEx, the more us Feeders get to haul. Seen it several times during other slow economic periods. Never seen anybody furloughed or layed off at the Mountain. Don't know about the other feeders ofcourse. We still have folks switching planes. Mostly replacing ATR guys going to fly in India or the fractionals. That opens up slots for the Van.

Does anyone know if there is a van opening in Ft Lauderdale or Miami currently? I hate to keep bothering the HR lady. Thanks.

You are right big C, the feeders will do fine as fedex find ways to cut costs. I spent nine years at one of the fedex feeders before moving on to fedex management. They will squeeze whats left of the mainline fleet to get the most production out of. I got run, somebody is wasting money and I got cut the fat. Peace!

MAC has alot of floaters in FL. I can't remember the last time MIA-FLL came up for bid, I for one am looking forward to going to the van in Talahassee...

You are going to be much better off in TLH, 152hvy. The size of the girls over there is not as large (or XL) like in Wisconsin.

Take care. We will miss you in MEM.

Does MCO come open for bid often? And where does that run go?

 

[sky-sign]

No airplane are base in MCO.

2 C208 from verobeach fly to MCO at night and 2 C208 from TLH fly to MCO at night (Just heard yesterday that the TLH run will be gone by jan 09 ).

So change are already on the way for the after peak season.....
