Gunter ...
"If" there is going to be an excess bid after peak (there "could" be, we have a bunch of old, expensive to maintain airplanes) ... why would you think there might be hiring?
In my mind an "excess bid" suggests that there are too many bodies; "hiring" suggests there aren't enough bodies?

A big excess bid also scares people into the FDAs. We WILL have to hire for fresh CGN FOs.

You've seen the brilliance of these big bids. They require an ability to see a year or more into the future. It's possible there will be a need for pilots before the training is done for an excess caused by a booming economy or more than forecast retirements.

The time limit is 5 years. And we're not going to hire (Fedex) for 12-18 more months after the realignment bid in March 2014. The OP of this thread needs to change his political leanings before coming purple. Good luck.

Hey, I figure people can lean whichever direction they choose, or stand on their heads for all I care. But....the holier than thou attitude doesn't go over too well with people, especially if you aren't actually dealing with the same massive tax hit that our demographic is.

We may have some internal hires starting around May 2014.

What do you mean by internal hires? Hiring out of the current application pool, or bringing over fedex corporate guys? Just curious. I missed the last window by about 200 PIC hours and have my heart set on flying a purple tail some day.

Yes, Internal Hires are typically from Fedex Corporate or Professional instructors who've been teaching 3 yrs or longer in Fedex sims
