Default FDX MD11 Crew Base in HKG

Just read something in ACP's office. Fred was over in HKG. 100 (Total) MD11 pilots in HKG by the fall. Excessing off Airbus in MEM was also mentioned.

Just the messenger. TB

Definitely need to see it painted purple to believe it, but it seems that anything the company is rumored to do to lower my quality of life and career progression usually comes true.....

I used to be an optimist, but its been beaten out of me.

When I turn the key into my apartment just down from the Sheraton Hong Kong then I'll believe it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this in conjunction with or shortly after an excess out of the Airbus. They'll be trying to squeeze guys who will be taking a pay hit into going to HK.

Anyone can have HKG with my compliments. Never been there and not interested.

Hearing the same rumors from mgmt types, lca's...Not MD-10's but 11's is what I have heard. My question is how the hell are they going to fill the right seat again? We already have the most junior dudes in HKG already. Here we go again, expect excesses out of ANC and the whole deal all over.
