Throw in the fact they have PBS which is way worse for bidding vacation and days off. We have 30hr two leg trips too, also 19 hr 2 day trips. Guess you did not look at the bid pack. We have the option of departing once during the month and doing a single departure, they do not. I hate going to work more than once a month. They go at least three times a month to work.

Multiple base options, you want FEDEX to open domicles and change the system form for your needs. Fedex has two banks of flights a day domestic and one international. They have up to six banks of flights through their hubs which allows for more choices of start times and finish times.



Unless you are under 30 our B fund and an improved A plan are much better than a straight 18%. Will see how long their profit sharing lasts.

Have you been to ATL, JFK, SFO? You can get killed in any of those cities too, no different than memphis.

Mean while it seems like you are a sore loser because you made the wrong choice to work here because a lot of things you are crying about are not going to change. A lot of it sounds like penis envy.

Next time do more home work about domicles, system form and retirement options for the company you are interveiwing with.

Purple ponies and rainbows for you.

-19hr 2 day trips? We have 6.5hr 2 day trips in my fleet as well as 5 leg 2 day trips that pay less than 9hrs.
-Hotels - I stayed at nicer hotels at a LCC. At least the courtyard Marriott in Casper has a Dennys connected to the lobby!

But, we have good vacation and no PBS (except for SLG, which is a horrible version of PBS) so guess that’s good enough!
