FDX - Guess how many will be flushed!
 

Give it your best shot -



I guesstimate, after the final excess bid -

60 widebody CAs will be flushed to lower seats
60 widebody FOs will be flushed to lower seats

100 going down into a narrow FO seat
100 going down to SO.

10 new HKG CAs
10 more HKG FOs

Another glass half full kinda guy......easily double your numbers on the flushes.

I haven't been called a glass kinda half full guy for a long time.

And you still haven't.......

85 - 30CM
85 - 30CF

First round

Due to the large size of the Excess Posting that was canceled, expect the company to come out with a much smaller version of an Excess Bid. This way they can crunch numbers, tweak and evaluate the long term financial impact. Just think baby steps before the "F" bomb gets dropped.

I'm sorry but if I were in the bottom 200-400 pilots I'd be looking hard and heavy at a back up plan and expect to be on the street by the end of summer. It's not just FDX, EVERYONE is taking it in the shorts right now with no real end in sight. So what makes us any different? Nothing. And when the economy does rebound it will be slow and gradual. Probably not what you want to hear but reality is just that and the numbers do not lie, no matter how you spin them.

Best of luck.

I agree there doesn't seem to be an end in sight, but I hope you're wrong on the F bomb. There is one thing that does make us different and that's 4.A.2.b. Were it not for that and the $$ the company saves by using this section of the contract, I think there would be guys on the street already. Do some figuring and see how much it would cost to go back to 68 hr BLGs for all left after a furlough and you might change your mind.

Flush:
100 Airbus Capt
100 Airbus FO
40 Mem MD Capt
60 Mem MD FO

Open
20 Hkg Cap
20 Hkg FO

there will not be any open HKG Capt slots...

Very distasteful conversation here,...the consequences of these excesses WILL be literally life changing for some of our crews.

Wouldn't be such a funny little lotto game if it were YOU!

Grow up.
