FYI.... I had training this week @ Gucci and there was a new hire class of 6 (?). Don't know details and unsure of the number. Most likely pool swimmers or internals, IDK...

One of my good friends is one of the 6. He said originally there was only supposed to be 2 in the class. He, and I'm assuming the others, are returning from long term LOA. So I don't think they are poolies or internals, but I could be wrong. I'll ask him and find out.

If they were all long term LOAs, they may be senior enough to hold other positions

No FDX new hires. The BI class was all guys returning from long time leave. They redo a shorter version of BINo pros transferring, no internals.

As one who works in a workgroup that is very in tune with whether or not any hiring is going on, I can say that it would be a big surprise to me if they were internals (pros/corporate)...........

I am 100% sure that none of them are new-hires. I just spent the week breathing the same air as them (I was not one of them in the class). A few line-holders and a few other stray cats and dogs, Feds, etc...but nobody new to the line. The sign was more of a traffic sign to guide them into the correct room every morning.

Really makes sense to hire a bunch more professional instructors so they can sit around with the ones already hired when there is nothing but mostly reccurrent training going on. A line guy can be flexed to the line when training slows down.
