I tell all my local ground compadraes, there's no reason to work at Ground if you can get in at Express. The take-home is the same plus, all the bennies, plus, all I carry is envelopes.
Whats starting pay at Express and whats the wonderful benny package worth?
This is what I always wanted to see....an airline employee coming into a FedEx office 2 days before Christmas with a load of crap to send out on interlne discount and being told by the CSA; "go stand over there and wait to hear your name called"....and then after 3 hours, "I'm sorry, this plane is 100% full of revenue packages from FULL-fare-paying REAL people. Try back tomorrow, have a crummy day like me - now scram"Yeah,
Interline. Don't bet on getting on any plane.
What kills me is we give away employee shipping rates to any yahoo that works for just about any air line.

I remember that - back when I worked for Federal Express. That was a good company (I wonder where they went?)I really, really, really miss the cooldest perk we had, consisting of they letting us get in front of the line, (with proper Fedex ID, of course), at the Fedex Space Mountain at Walt Disney World, as well as the free refreshments and Costco snacks in the cozy Fedex Lounge around the back of the building. Believe me, it was sweet...especially during those hot and humid Florida's summer afternoons.
