Love your phrasing here. And I’m guilty of contributing to that derailment. My apologies.
I have a Sep interview/hire buddy in the pool. Although I have no direct line to decision makers in HR, after a few years of observing the system bid cycle, it doesn’t seem realistic that hiring will begin anew until after our 2020 system bid closes. More than likely in the spring, of the last few cycles are any indicator.
We never know exactly when the company will offer a system bid. It’s certainly a negative QoL aspect of FDX life WRT life planning around when we will go to training/upgrade. BUT...it’s also the reason why the company is able to hire into all potential seats.
I was hired directly into WB FO. So on one hand I’d like some more company transparency WRT system bids / bidding for training, I’d be complaining from the lofty WB FO perch. Doesn’t make sense.
