FedEx wouldn't acknowledge that clause for new hires, I wonder if they will for our own guys. Seems like the very least they could do to somewhat limit the pain of the training process.
Then again, they don't call it the Boeing Bootcamp for nothing, so if I were them I'd plan on taking the written again.

As far as Captains bidding anything on this bid; only the 727 Captains can bid anything. There are no excesses for any other Captains listed. So the Captains are stuck where they are for now. Can't go anywhere even if they wanted to.

Yep. I flew with a SO who had been recently excessed from 727 FO. He had been hired into the right seat. He did not have to retake the FE written. FedEx got a waiver to extend the written test results. It's in the FARs somewhere.
At least we've got that going for us.

Here's even more fuel for the muddy fire....
A DC-10 Capt gets excessed to the Bus or MD, whatever. His training date is in 2011...would you bid to relieve, or sit it out for the next two years and make system average blg?
I feel for some of the ANC FO's who are going to have to retake the FE written before they go to training.

Practice Bid
There will be two practice bids; Friday, April 6th and Wednesday, April 13th.
I think their dates are off somewhat. Today is Wednesday, 1 April. That would make 2 days from now the 3rd, right? the next 2 Wednesdays would be the 8th and 15th. I'm guessing we'll see a corrected FCIF shortly...
