Interesting FDX Info from RGS
Ok, nothing earth shattering but interesting none the less...from RGS today...
Management is evaluating the LOA and trying to decide whether to pull some prunes from the pool or sweeten the pot to try to get more guys to bid the FDA's on the next posting.
Not a rumor but a fact...instead of using support in the sim, crew scheduling will call reserves to come in. Will help with the 3/3 problem on the -11 for some pilots. Exact implementation TBD but will be soon. Personally I am curious what the contract says about this!
Bean counters have approved the purchase of a total of 95 757's and the first two are 3 months behind schedule. Supposedly FedEx has decided to exercise their option on the additional 15 777's for a total of 30.
Yes, profits are down but we still are making a profit. PC says absolutely NO furloughs on his watch, even though we are 200-250 pilots fat.
There was more but can't remember the rest...

11.O
5. All crew seats shall be occupied during simulator check ride/qualification events.
a. During such simulator check ride/qualification events for a Captain or First Officer crew seat, the Captain and First Officer seats, if not occupied by a pilot being checked, shall be occupied by pilots who are currently qualified to serve in that crew seat.
b. During such simulator check ride/qualification events for a Second Officer crew seat, the Captain and First Officer crew seats may be occupied by non-pilot instructors who are current and qualified in those crew seats.
7. A pilot assigned to occupy a crew seat in support of another pilot's training session/check ride/qualification event is not required to participate in the ground evaluation administered by the instructor during the pre-simulator briefing. The assigned pilot shall satisfy the performance standards required by his crew status. Should the pilot flying seat support encounter any significant performance issues that require training (other than debrief), prior to his return to line flying, his case shall be referred to the TRB. A pilot shall not incur a training failure while occupying a seat in support of another pilot's training.

f. Post Duty Availability
A reserve pilot shall contact CRS at the completion of any assignment that terminates within his R-day. Such contact shall be within 30 minutes after block-in if the assignment was a trip or within 30 minutes after the conclusion of any other assignment (e.g., simulator). If the pilot is not given another assignment for that duty period, he shall be released for a minimum rest period of 10 hours.
