Cool your Jets
I am a personal friend of Hauptmann G and can attest to his abilities,etc. When you fly at a place with a few guys, it is difficult. I am tired of everyone trying to "get mine" and then having an attack of amnesia on how they arrived at their new dream job...news flash...NO ONE CAN DO IT ON THEIR OWN! Some help would be great. I live in Chicago, I own a car and would be willing to develop a friendship with someone who would be willing to help me through this process that seems to be eliminating qualified people because they did not fly in the military. Skip me if you like but help some one. By they way, I happen to know my friend served his country, he just did not fly an airplane to do it. Show him a little respect. Let's really try to help each other out and stop talking about it.

Fed up,
Are you nuts? Why would someone who doesn't know you decide to put his reputation on the line and write you a recommendation? Do you realize how stupid that sounds?
Look if you have a sponsor, have him introduce you to his friends that work there. If he is a decent guy, he will have friends that would probably help you out. You have to have flown with your sponsor, not necessarily your other recommendations (although it would be helpful). If your sponsor really wants to help you out and you are good friends, he will help you out. If he doesn't do anything, he probably doesn't want his name attached to you anyway.
Stop the begging and use your sponsor. If not, get a job and throw boxes or something.... If you are that great of a guy and pilot then you have nothing to worry about....

I say again, it is really important to have recs from fedex guys that used to work at your company or were in your squadron, etc. If you don't, they wonder why no one that knew you from there is stepping up for you. I realize not everyone falls into this category. But if you have a sponsor, he needs to start introducing you to some people.

Pilot jobs at Fedex are limited to the friends of current FedEx pilots. It sucks, is not fair, but that's the way it is.
UPS and SWA are not that way. You can get hired at both without knowing anyone there.

Being as I'm old, and not very computer literate, could you please explain how a person would "gravel online." I understand how one grovels, as I've read many of your posts, but I don't understand how one gravels. What goes around comes around.

I knew that you would
When you wear diapers and drool, it really helps.PS ... It's like grovel, only with gravel in your pockets, backback and mouth.
