........ Back to the thread. I, for one, am very disappointed for all those guys who figured they were in line for PCs job and now are wondering if all those decisions they've made recently, will haunt them when the house cleaning comes. I plan on welcoming each and every one of them back to the line with a hearty handshake and a "thanks for the effort". I'll do that because I'm a great guy, according to me!
AA --I agree, you are a great guy. You'll also be considered for the "Mother Teresa" award when you welcome LK back!!

I'm not sure about the rest of them...But, PC flew an entire career's worth of trips in the few years he was on the line.

This new guy is gonna stroll in and this is what he's gonna think (after being at US Air:
1) Holy crap - look at those pay scales.
2) Fatigue? Look how short those critical period duty days are scheduled for!!
3) Eight years and you're a 777 FO -- holy crap?
4) Holy crap - look at those pay scales.
Well Mr. New FedEx Management guy - allow me to respond to your initial impressions one by one:
1) Pay rates suck compared to UA / DAL of a decade ago. Not to mention that this company PRINTS greenbacks compared to any other airline.
2) Until you've stayed awake all night day after day, week after week, you just don't don't know the toll it takes. I'm sure you flew a couple of all-nighters during your career and, as such, you think you "get it". Well -- you don't.
3) We gave $20 million in negotiating capital for an ultra widebody pay rate. The 777 is that airplane. Where's our $20 million?
4) Our pay rates suck. They are more than a decade behind where they ought to be.

Pipe,
Usair has only hired a handful(probably less than a 100 or so) since 1999-2000. The overwhelming majority of their guys have been their longer so they've experienced the higher payscales that were above our current ones.

Am I missing something? I didn't see a paragraph in his bio about all the military jets he has flown. This guy has no military experience and he is a VP at FedEx? I thought that was a requirement for any job of any importance here. He really is an outsider.
