FEDEX--Best Seat?
Returning to FEDEX from extended MLA (years) this summer. What's the best fleet, seat and domicile. My seniority, hired May '05, is 50% in the narrow body FO and 95% in the wide body FO.
What should I avoid?

If you can get a non-deploying billet, stay on mil as long as you can. It ain't pretty here now.

I was thinking the same thing. I figure things will only get uglier between now and contract ratification. I'd recommend staying on MLA until the dust settles if you can ... sorry.

What was on your standing bid when you left? I think you will go back to what your seniority can hold in the order it was on your standing bid.
At least that is what they told me when I left on a long term MLA. Been about 13 months for me... and not quite sure when I'll be returning.
FWIW

Your numbers are a little off re: wide-body %
A May 2005 hire would be 100% on the Bus -- probably 5 guys from the bottom of the entire F/O list. A little better on the -11, still @ 100%, but about 60 guys from the bottom of the list.
ANC would be a little better, not sure if you want the commute for 80% (or so) Seniority with diminishing lines.
If the excess rumors are true, then your seniority would not let you hold the Bus.
