143 open FO position remian that need to be filled by new hires.

Here are the projected open FO seats that need to be filled:

MD-11 ANC 78 FO's
A-300 6 FO's
B-757 51 FO's (11 SDF, 22 SDFZ, 15 ONT, 3 MIA)
DC-8 5 FO's
747-400 19 FO's

16 of these postions may be filled by the current probationary FE's already on property... Even with the 16 Probation guys getting the upgrade, we still need 143 from now till November.

As with anything at UPS... This will probably change by tomorrow, but for now, its whats being talked about... Now if the age 60 rule changes anytime soon, look for these numbers to change...

Good Luck
