Looking at their bid pack most of the lines are 7-9 on 10-12 off, with some exceptions. This is contrary to what the company told us when they were selling the LOA. If there is a new domicile the only thing for certain is dont believe what they tell you.

I dont know and will probably never find out.

2nd and a half world country probably as dangerous as Memphis but worse than most other places. It seems to me you spend a lot more time being transported in HKG than any other domicile.

Currently a bus domicile we suspect there will be a MD domicile soon. Company does not share their vision with us. When they do share it, there is a good chance it is tactical deception.

Does the company have to offer you the position in Mem before a new hire? I’m assuming a new hire class is going to be based in Mem on some equipment. I’m also assuming that you only have to do a two year commitment.
When your commitment is up you can bid for any open seat. Assuming there is a bid. They will move you last if they feel like it. My guess is a two year commitment will be at least 3 years on the rock.

Should be good in about 2 years. I suspect we are older than average. Search this forum and you will find some
good wags.
If what you are asking is Fedex a good place to work my guess is 96% of the pilots looking for jobs would say yes to Fedex. You could probably avoid HKG but sometime in the future they may take HKG volunteers 1st and tell the non vols to wait.
