Delta, United, and American have roughly three times the number of pilots as FDX.
I will say that your friend will enjoy much quicker "local" seniority or base/aircraft seniority.

This will pay dividends for the corporation over the long run (and probably even pay for the lav move) by having less people call in sick! I already know of a few instances where crewmembers who couldn't get a Jumpseat developed a cold.

Fedex is short of pilots. Me? I'm enjoying my summer with my KIDS!!!!
You know, I really need to spend more time with them....

However, it does seem like there are quite a few trips in open time on certain aircraft.

And once the 767 starts doing Europe trips...won't it be fun to have 3-4 JS's in the cockpit for a 10 hour flt????

For those who have interviewed, or those with an interview date (or those who have sponsored interviewees)- how long was the wait from the time your sponsor sent their recommendation to the pilot credential site until the time you were called for an interview?
Do sponsors find out when their applicant's information is sent through the matrix to see if they will be interviewed?
Thanks for any information and good luck to all.
