If FedEx needs to Hire (your 168#'s) before next Peak, they will.
They can easily train off site if need be,as they have done multiple times in the past 23 years during hiring booms. many of us trained offsite in ATL, PIT, MIA, DFW and HEL & ZRH.
Again, I agree with your assessment. But should the need arise, FDX can train a lot of folks.
That said, Big Hiring rumors are always the
perfect distraction during Negotiations. Don't believe it until it is on the ramp painted Purple/orange.
Training locations for the 757 are MEM (FDX sims), DFW (AA IS&S sim), and apparently they are going to start sims in the Iceland Air sim in Reykjavik for the Europe crews. Problem is there are very few IS&S sims out there.
