My guess.
March 09---Excess Bid, big enough to shuffle a lot of the nuggets out of ANC, and the 727 FOs back to the back. Once the 727 FOs getting passover no longer have a standing bid with widebody in their award, I think they lose passover
.
April 09---another HKG bid trolling to see how many of the ANC FO will chose HKG over MEM with a huge pay cut. If they then fill HKG then they will slow roll any excess moves until the new HKG FOs start training.
Oct 09---cancel the excess bid. Too bad about the guys that went to HKG.
Jan 10---have a CGN 757 or airbus bid for the new European domicile.
Mar 10---A new HKG mini plus up bid.
May 10---New system bid with movement.
July 10---New hires.
Anyone else....

So work on that high five, remember the "median" age of death for FDX pilots. Let me see, if I work to 65 I have a good chance of kicking the bucket at 62.8 years, so I'll need a few million....

Don't see any hiring until the retirements start going back on normal pace again. Shrinking fleet(seat count) and crippled economy combined with Company's recent attitude to ignore long-standing contract criteria will make them even more brazen in how they attack our work rules. We lose this grievance...stand by for an all-out assault on things like tweaking the optimizer and using reserves for everything they possibly can to maximize their usage. The good old days are gone for good!

Don't be an idiot, I will bet any amount of money you are willing to, pink slips, title to the house, that if you work to 65 you won't die at 62.8 years
if you make it to 65, the average life expectancy is another 16 years.
If you make it to 60, it's about 1/100 that won't make it to 61
I could care less what any pilot does, in fact, I'd highly encourage every other pilot to fly until 65, then transition to the back of the Boeing and fly for as long as they can walk. The longer YOU keep flying the stronger MY pension plan is.
Everybody has a finite number of days allotted to them, the question is where do you want to spend them? At the Apt waiting for the load crew to finish, or somewhere else.
Personally, I am planning to hit the road at 60. That's why I fund my 401k, an IRA, and some taxable investments as well.

A 27SO getting passover pay is based upon the Activation of a 27FO that is junior to the aforementioned SO... provided the 27SO has and has had 27FO at 100% somewhere on their standing bid and keeps it there until they Activate in the same seat or a higher paying seat.
During a backwards movement it works the same way. A person does not lose passover pay until all of the junior crewmembers Activate in their new position. In this example the 27FO has to go all the way through training and Activate as an 27SO for the more senior person to lose PO Pay.

FDA.
If you can no longer hold that seat because of a bump and flush situation, then the guy junior to you that caused the pop can't hold it either, so you would not be qualified for it anymore.
