[QUOTE="747-400, post: 893493, member: 37469"] Folks, New airport employee in the southwest. Been here a few weeks. So I finally got a job with Fedex. Now what? So far, Its not that bad. The whole hiring process wasnt bad. I applied online, a few days later had a phone interview, followed by a background check. Then a f2f meeting then fingerprinting. Again so far.... Its not THAT bad. Fedex payed for my shoes ($100). Did you know we get flight beneifits? ID90 (zed) fare, but thats a whole hell of a lot better than paying full fare. We pay 50 bucks round trip on Jetblue. (100 bucks to JFK!) I think its the same on Southwest. We get 80% off shipping rates. So... Its not that bad. Insurance, is payed via the wife so could give two [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]zs about that. The pay... Well the pay does hurt. But compared to other airline companies its not too bad. Southwest about $9 bucks (approx) Usairways about $9.45 (approx) (NO OT) Delta $10.80 (approx) (Dont forget they cap you on 20/hours a week. NO OT) UPS $8.50 Piedmont $7.50 So a few questions... I mean where do I go now? I sure as hell aint gonna be throwing boxes like this for very much longer. What about advancement? I want to get outside to the ramp. Whats the quickest way out there? What about TL or DG agent. What about going FULL time? Thanks. PS. I was orginally hired by UPS but decided to come to Fedex instead. [/QUOTE]
