Default FDX 08-01 Practice

It appears the practice bid is out.

At first glance the thing I find odd is..... Where are the MEM B757 awards?

anyone?

Oh .. and look! FH bid MD-11 Capt, now that's a surprise??? I guess his poor injured shoulder has been miraculously cured?

Not many surprises really ... looks like lots of old guys bidding back to Capt. A few old guys bidding f/o (I assume these guys can't hold a first class medical?). SFS guys bidding back to the US.

If you are on disability, you are exempt from the bid so you must be right. Aviation is saved!! Whew, how could we have coped?

Well what a frickin surprise! They are all coming back! It's a real life horror movie...Night of the Near Dead Re-Treads! (NDRT's)
Hope you like what seat you are in right now, because it will be 8 years before you can go anywhere.

So Mr. O, how about an early out program for these guys?

He is probably not on disability, because you can't bid. Probably just out sick.

NDRT's? Well, I guess that's better than Blue Hairs?

Also interesting.... I wonder how many vacancies will have to be created for the company to actually FILL some of those secondaries in the back seat of the -10?

38 secondaries in the back of the -10.... Gotta love it.... I can't wait to see when the training letter comes out... they won't even be through all the training before the aircraft is gone!! We went from 30 secondaries in the right seat of the Boeing with 70 FOs bailing to "0" secondaries. Brilliant!! (Master sarcasm light flashing with associated aural....) So where are we overstaffed now??

Gotta Be!!!

Looks like the whole 757 MEM is over 60. Guess they will be all domestic.
