I think the 767 will replace the 8, and that we will continue to buy used 747-400s to fill the gap left by the A380. However, the wild card is we seem to lag FedEx but end up doing about the same thing they do.
If we do end up with overseas domiciles I do hope we end up with a better FDA than they did.

If we followed FedEx, then we would have no 747-400s in our fleet, nor any 767-300ERs or 757-200s.
FedEx is much more aggressive in a business sense. But when it comes to fleet decisions and foresight, I think that UPS runs circles around Memphis.

Averages are useless, the mean usually more accurate, but here still useless. Hopefully this shows a past history. Majority of the MD-11 hired directly to ANC. Almost all the rest of them are now displaced to ANC in either the MD-11 or 747-4 or probably soon to be. The 5 DC-8 F/O's hired in 2007 are ANC bound. Essentially, all of the 2007 hires will end up in ANC. The 727 is gone. The 747 classisc (100-200's) will be gone by Jan 2009. Around 90 of those crewmembers to be displaced. The DC-8 is starting to get parked. Rumors of between 6-8 in 2008 to go to the storage at Roswell (ROW) One went the other day (703) and they have scheduled another, but it hasn't left SDF yet. Rumor is to start displacing DC-8 crews now rather than wait.
Looks like 2008 is a clean up the crews year for the big musical chair dance we are going to hold. Of course, UPS getting 7 747-400's and 5 MD-11's this year, so ANC is getting bigger. Also, in 2009, UPS starts getting the first of the 27 new 767's through 2012 (6.5 per year average <g>)

Why do they still have the FEXw requirement? I've got a MD-11 type rating but no current FEXw and the online app won't let me apply.

I had to go take my 5th FEX before I could schedule an interview in late 2006. I was current and typed in the B757. I now have a collection of FEX writtens that will most likely collect dust and snow ...
I got the job early 2007, worth every penny for the FEX ... as NIKE used to say, just do it ! Or plan on doing it when hiring resumes if the requirement is still there.
As to the question "why the FEX is still a requirement" ... Because they want it there ...
That's all that any of us really know ...
And all you need to knowLater, Brown CC

FEX or no FEX, that is the question...
I interviewed in August 2007, still swimming, and did not have to re-take the FEX (last testing date 2000). Several brown friends talked with HR and said the 121 exemption was allowed, I double-checked with HR and they confirmed this, therefore I did not have to retake. Was accepted into the pool. Sounds like the rules changed...
