FDX ANC CAP Overstaffed?
I have been watching the open time trip assignments in ANC this week because I'm on RB. I noticed a couple trips were assigned to MEM capts who were on hotel stby pairings in ANC.

Sorry, I don't know how to make the cool links.
If we're overmanned, why do we need MEM crews on stby in ANC?
It seems crazy for a MEM guy to get a double D/H to ANC to do a EWR out and back.

WRT the overstaffed situation, just look at the fleet plan. In less than 18 mos. (11 mos. considering the business cycle) we will have 15 more hulls than we have today. Using the most conservative math.....we will need to hire to cover the seats.......food for thought.

Anybody still hearing the rumor about parking some Airbus aircraft and keeping 72's because the 72's are paid for?
I heard it about a month ago from our former SCP...then heard it the other day from a guy that recently went through RGS....
I haven't heard it on the the crewbus, so it must not be true...
