[QUOTE="Sniper, post: 1202207, member: 48816"] Individual consideration and operational needs are a interesting concepts to say the least. At our station we have a pretty good bunch of folks, pretty senior folks and better than average managers. (one thing I did notice in one of my earlier threads, "when the chips are down, really down, I can walk into my managers office as a person first, then employee) I WAS REALLY SURPRISED no one on here [B]objected[/B] to that statement, especially with all the moaning and groaning on this site about how [B]BAD[/B] Express is to work for. I learn things on this forum. I learn things from what is said and what is not said as well. The 90 day limit consideration happened to at least two other couriers before she had her triple bypass. None of the three of them were butt kissers by any means. They did the job like it should be done, took care of our customers, rarely call out sick just like 95% of us do day in and day out. Being an above "average" employee is NOT brown nosing but doing the job and what is expected from all of us. With that said, we also have one or two couriers which "game" the system. One courier has missed two if not THREE "peaks" in the last 6 years. Is that right? Is that fair to the rest of us who are there day in and day out? NO it is not. I dare say if they went out over 90 days the attendance record would speak loud and clear. I think it would be fair to say those couriers might not get [B]INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION[/B]. I have not jumpseated since we lost that perk. We had heard a "rumor" jumping was back about two years ago. I did my happy dance:hapydancsmil: took the jumpseat certification test and then found out the [B]TRUTH. [/B]Turns out the jumpseaters were pilots, and more importantly [I]pilots who don't even work for FedEx Express[/I].(that is what was related to me from the ramp, don't want to contrive anything but people are jumping out of TYS who they are I really don't know). I know it's not me. I can not jumpseat "at will". Business travel and personal emergency travel is all that is in policy. I would also go out on a limb, based on my employment history and knowledge of OUR company and say the following: If anything happened to my daughter, son in law or grandchildren I would be able to jump for PE travel if my certification is current. I pray that I never find that out to be a fact. I also know from my previous history that if your not current on the test PE travel will NOT be granted. I do wish personal travel would return. Did anyone else get to jumpseat "back in the day"? I hope so because that was a truly unique experience. [/QUOTE]
