We have a unique situation at FDX right now.
Quite a few MD CAs, and FOs, have been excessed. Many of these guys are itching to get back to CA and, I think, the company counts on them choosing HKG. Some of these guys are hurting financially and will take the unpleasant move for the $$.
Then there are the very experienced MD11 FOs that thought they were close to CA only to see their possible upgrade date moved years into the future. I think these two factors will make the domicile more 'senior' than you think.
If junior guys hold CA they'll cancel the bid. Perhaps if one guy they don't like holds CA and/or guys without MD11 time hold FO they'll cancel the bid. The company has no problem canceling a bid at the last hour for whatever reason that suits them.
