The whole not hiring legacy guys or furloughed legacy guys was a JL thing. We are still waiting on OR's new hiring guidelines. This new bid could force the issue, but short of hiring to fill the FDAs, it's going to be a while. The word in the schoolhouse is that hiring will be flat thru 08. That could change, but don't' count on it.

I was a furloughed legacy guy when I got hired. In my new-hire class were 3 non furloughed legacy guys who resigned on our first day at FDX. One was a captain at United. Seems like even under JL non-furloughed guys were getting picked up.
Good luck, TB

In the Civil Service world if you did was Tractor Bob apparently witnessed, unfair hiring practices, it would cost you your job.

I made several inquiries and always was told the policy would have to change or my friend would have to resign from United in order to get an interview with FedEx.

If the guy really wants to be here, if he is persistent, if we are hiring, and if he has some good sponsors (or one very good sponsor), I'll bet he could be hired.
