Anybody notice how hiring waves seem to correspond with contract negotiations? My imagination?
Good luck poolies....save money now, eliminate debt, and be ready for the 1st year. It was a pay raise for many of us, but still, be prepared. Extra flying is NOT a good way to go when the contract is amendable.

From a recent class that O talked with. HR is tasked with having a new hiring format up and running by Jan. 1. Any app that hadn't been updated in two years will be purged. They said they do notice who had been updating. Poolies number 30. They may have to come in and meet with HR or O to get reacquainted due to the time that has passed. Hiring 100-150 starting in the spring. Not sure if that number is in addition to pros, corporate and poolies. I hope so! Said there are 8-900 guys that are eligible to retire. He said this should be the start of a good hiring wave. No more meet and greets. You will be able to sponsor someone but will hear about it if they screw up. He only wants solid recommendations. You may be required to mentor them after they are hired. Not sure what that entails. Said they are looking at the A330 or the 777pax conversion as a MD-10 replacement. Hong Kong MD-11 base sooner than later. Europe will be SIBA for now. Still hoping to get a crew base in the "Cologne area." Need a new LOA or contract for that to happen. He said before this gets posted on the net to clarify that this info is good as of yesterday and subject to change.

Of that 800-900 eligible to retire, just a little over 300 of them have 25 years of service at FedEx. The number needed for maximum benefits. I don't really know about the number of Tiger guys that could go with full bennys.

In Aug 2014, all FTL pilots will have 25 years service for A-plan benefits.
Some of the more Senior former Tiger pilots also have their FTL Invest Plan.
