No expectation for a pilot domicile --- the article (and our mgt) makes no mention of additional pilot jobs at GSO.
Initially, it was thought the GSO hub may some day grow as large IND --- as they download unnecessary east coast flights that currently transit EWR --- but, that day is a long way off.
Personally, I welcome any trips that start/transit/end in GSO --- without a domicile.
(...the guys who live in IND tell me that's mo betta!)
From my perspective, the fact that FEDEX is finally building, opening and operating the hub is a good step in that direction.
