238 Widebody FOs ( 70 ANC MD-11, 21 LAX MD-11, 99 MEM MD-11, and 48 MEM Airbus)

50 B-727 Second Officers


Secondaries to be determined.



300 Newhires (I know, that's the part you're looking for, right? )

Actually, the FCIF says "in excess of" 300 for FY07, with the plan being to hire approximately 30 per month.



I'm a little disappointed. I don't see any vacancies for 737 Captain.

Wow, this is one huge bid, no?

Yup, that 300 figure is juicy. Bring on the newhires!

How long do you guys think this will take to train and there is another bid? 150 11 Captains at 16 a month, does 10 months sound even close?

It says to expect another bid in the Spring of 07.


Of course, this bid was supposed to be out in February, too, so take that for what it's worth (a waste of my keystrokes).

Per the FCIF: "We expect the next bid to be published in the Spring of 2007."

Other interesting tidbits... The fleet plan over the next 5 quarters shows the following fleet deltas: -14 727s, -10 DC10s, +15 Airbus, +12 MD10s, +9 MD11s. Net gain in airframes: 12. Net gain in seats: 0.

You just never know.............
That is when the next projection of a Bid is...............
however, if I was a betting man and from a historical perspective, there will probably be a 1 or 2 small clean up bids beginiing in the fall
..............as the DC-10 and 727 down size and retirements from ANC an Lax phase in and hiring either increases or decreases as the needs change.

Retirements-

2006- 150
2007- 160

I'm not seeing how the fuzzy math is going to work. They're going to need to hire a lot more than 300 just to keep up with the new airplanes and the retirements. And that doesn't address the early retirements and medicals.

1. Age 60 in doubt 2.150% has always cured staffing shortages at FedEX 3. We love carryover 4.We enjoy selling our vacations back 5.We like to increase our BLG 8-12 hours per month. OK, now I'm just *****ing but these tools make the short staffing too lucritive for any self respecting bean counter to pass up.
