I joined the thread late, and apologize if this mentioned before, but is there any talk of "leaves of absence" being offered. The other places I've worked seem to offer leaves as a prelude to the "F" word.

Just curious,

FF

Is FedEx shipping more volume via its "independent contractors" vice by air? Makes sense, we've seen it here at UPS, especially for 2nd day air.

Express is still our moneymaker.

2. You're wrong. With 5&1/2 years sitting sideways, with no crew movement for the first 3 or 4 years, then a year in the right seat of the Boeing, then 7 years in the right seat of the Bus, then the left seat of the Mad Dog. I think I maxed out my pay as much as I could. The whole time I was junior, with the exception of my last year as captain in Anchorage, and of course now, where I still never fly carryover, etc. QOL was never an issue, as I had the same QOL that any junior, commuter guy had, but my family understood that, and never gave me a problem with my being gone on every major holiday for my entire career here.
#1. True. Jax may be one of the toughest AFC teams to play right now.

#2. 7 years in the right seat of the Bus, and never got any seniority? Wow.

I state it again. Should the Position: MD11 Captain not be S/O?
