Is it just me...Or, does it seem like an abnormally high percentage of the people fired at FDX are non-members? I mean, we only have 100+/- NMs. I can think of 4 that have been fired, off the top of my head. Percentage-wise, that would equate to about 190 members.

Hmmm...Maybe, they're not such geniuses after all.

On second thought...Maybe they are geniuses.

Sadly, since our union is obligated to represent ALL of the FDX pilots, we have to use our dues money to represent these freeloading maggots to get their jobs back.

I contend the company is more concerned with Third-Party Home Purchase Plan, Air Transportation for Housing Searches and Relocation to Domicile, Reimbursement of Costs Associated with Sale of Current Residence, and Transportation of household goods from former residence to new permanent residence.

Our Chief Pilot wrote:

We realize that some pilots have multiple homes and that the determination
of one's PPR is not as obvious for some as it is for others. If we are
forced to investigate your designation of a PPR, we will investigate to
determine whether you had a legitimate
, good faith reason for believing
that the address you recorded was, in fact, your permanent primary
residence
. With that in mind, please check your PPR as soon as possible
and update it if necessary. If you have any administrative difficulties
updating your PPR, please contact your flight ops assistant, who can help
you with the logistical details.

Just a question I think is worth asking.
Bingo, I had my ACP email me making "sure" of my PPR on my jumpseat staging issue. I think they are under the gun to find out if there is any monkey business before they have to start buying houses.

Probably a lot of guys claiming Tennessee as residence to avoid state taxes.
Actually it was Florida. Most only had a post office box # for an address. They didn't even own anything in the state they were claiming as their primary residence.

Yes Minnesota, I guess Florida also. Big story in St Paul of a few pilots who had kids in public schools but had Tennessee residence. One guy had kids in school and a business in Minnesota, yet had claimed he was a non-resident.

These days with tax revenue down easy money for the sates to go after the missing money.

Does this mean that if I claim the UPS store in Germantown as my primary residence, but I actually live in CA, I could get fired?

Maybe you should email your ACP and find out!

I would go the G-Town UPS store, and do your final check-in for your deviation trip with your cell phone. Then, confess that you were actually home when you did it. Probably 2 weeks off, max. But, that's much less than having to pay all those back-taxes. Now, would be the perfect time to do it, with our reduced BLGs, and all.

Be sure to put in a claim for the taxi fare.

Yes! Of course! And, don't forget to use Southern Nevada Taxis. So you won't need a receipt.
