Those in the pool may not have the resume/experience that the company wants sitting in those FDAs....rememeber the ANC MD Nuggets were handpicked out of what, 100-150 swimmers?

I don't see us interviewing to get a larger pool, I just don't know what the company will do.

Anywho, funny how this has turned out. Force feed us this crappy LOA, below average incentives, and they can't fill the FO slots!!! Beautiful. Maybe if we were offered something lucrative/competitive, the company wouldn't be in this situation.

I know they can see our standing bids even before a bid opens, if they saw that they weren't able to fill the slots, you would think they would wait to have a bid until they had the numbers.

Here comes the emails, "We have to fill these slots or we're going to lose the flying!!!"

This whole thing is a mess and was handled extrmemely poorly, not by a Fortune 500 company. When I explain to friends/family what is going on, they can't believe that FDX...big purple...would mess around with the pilot group and not do whatever it takes to capture/own the EU/ASIA market!!

On a side note, I have a friend who works for a defense contractor in PA, he got offered to go work for another company in DC, but doesn't want to move....they're paying him extra compensation to commute from PA to DC, and even got him an apartment in DC in case he's too tired to drive home.

Sorry for the babbling, I was just brainstorming.

Any ideas how this Harry Potter saga will end?
