FDX-Training Letter...But No Training
Gents:
I'm hearing persistent rumors out on the road that there will be a training letter upcoming after the bid closes (per the contract), but that it will start after the current training letter expires in January, therefore, a training letter, but nobody actually goes. Then, the bid for the 777 will come out and then only after that, guys will begin to train...after the mother of all shuffles. Also heard they want to put the HKG MD-10-30 base on the same bid as the 777.
Anyone else hearing similar?
P.S.--Before any of my jokers (the typical ones) chime in, I realize that I ALONE will be the only one who will be training on 08-03 and in reverse seniority to boot!

I like the way you think, backfilling the secondaries (one's current seat) when the 777 bid comes out and not having to go to training. There will be some who'll get caught in the shuffle though. (Mainly Purple Nug's, direct hire 72 FO's, and those really junior in some seats.)
My only question, why not include the 777 bid with the current excess and get it over with in one fell swoop?? (Especially with the excess training later slated to extend into late 09)

We don't have a payrate for the 777.
It will/would go senior.
