FDX Training Letter

The new training letter should be out in a few hours. Any guesses on how far out they will go?

Looks like the 57 letter might be out of order. Guys in my new hire class who are senior to me will train several months before me. They were excessed (involuntary) off the MD-11, I was excessed (involuntary) off the bus. Shouldn't they go after me?

Also, shouldn't guys that bid to relieve be trained before the guys that were excessed?

The whole thing is going to change all over again when the CDG bid comes out. I would not sell the farm just yet...

Spot on!

...and again, when the 25 MEM 757 Capt bids comes out in the fall.

Alot of excessed Capt's bid right seat of the 777 to delay their training as far out as possible, and will be hoping to get any Capt slot they can.

Any bets on if/when you'll see any secondaries vacancies filled on any of the upcoming bids (e.g. CDG in May and MEM 757 Capt in the fall)...???

If you think they are going to publish that to the pubic, then you need to be followed by the company PI, and need to put down, and back away from the crack pipe.
