I don't really care where the Purple Nuggets come from or their backgrounds. I honestly don't think this is a big deal. Other companies hire straight into the right seat of wide body, glass cockpits all of the time. The company is smart to take it seriously and, because they don't have the experience training for that environment, over react to a certain degree. But in the long run, I think the Nuggets and FedEx will survive the whole exercise. Besides, they'll be too junior to fly anything but MD-10 trips.
...it is just that it contradicts what our SCP said in his correspondence to the Pilots. No big deal.
