When AF was bought, there was no FedEx Freight. So of course they would keep their seniority.
This is probably one of the most significant comments on this thread thus far!! There's no comparison

Ice just as an example for us at freight. If we had a big layoff I have 18yrs co. and 8 yrs. road. For bidding & vacation purposes I use my road seniority 8 yrs. which puts me #9. For layoffs I use my co. seniority 18yrs, which I move up too #3. So another words there are 6 drivers with more road seniority that would be laid off before me, if it came to a layoff. I think that's right and wouldn't that be the same thing.

FedEx rarely lays off.
They just starve the bottom men out until they quit.
That way, no unemployment benefits are paid out.
You could have 100 years in with the company...and a guy with 6 months ahead of you on the board will work before you.
This must vary state to state. I know for a fact if you quit you cant get unemployment in my state.You can still get unemployment if you quit.
Watkins drivers apps were post dated to there hire date at Watkins. O/O were considered new hires. So there date stated the day they filled out the app.I was wondering if the watkins guys are given company seniority from the date of hire as a contractor or o/o i have heard this is happening don`t know for sure
