In the past how often were new hires going to SFS?

I got here in the summer of 2002, and put in a bid for SFS. I couldn't hold it until the summer of 2005, and by then I could hold MD11 in Memphis so I did that. I also had Anchorage bid during that time.

I don't think the name Wiener would work. It's been in the news too much recently.

Purple Weiner Schnitzel?

Didn't some "Weiner" of a congressman just (allegedly) tweet a photo of his purple wiener schnitzel to an intern? Hmmmmm

He must have forgotten the 11th Commandment..."Thou shalt not show thy rod to thy staff."

14 757 EUR FO

That's 240 vacancies total.

At 20 new hires a month, that's 12 months of hiring.

Sounds about right from what all the managers have been saying.

Next system-wide vacancy bid in spring/early summer of 2012??
