hopefully they wil hire at least 50 percent civilian only pilots this time. the probllem with our seniorty list that we have way too many people who dont know the fars because they came from the military. regional captains know part 121 already, and there is a second mind in the cockpit, rather than a second autopilot.

For the benefit of the eager poolies/non-FDX-ers ...
FCIF = Flight Crew Information Files. Basically an official email from management to the crew force pertaining to a/c procedures, hotel changes, admin issues, numerous other types ... in this (admin) case it pertains to the upcoming "Pilot Selection Process."
From memory ...
- A new online pilot recommendation form for existing pilots to recommend ONLY ONE person at a time. We'll be responsible for mentoring said new employee from the end of IOE through the end of the probationary year.
- No more "Meet-n-Greets."
- Internal recommendation NOT required.
- If rejected, can reapply aft a year.
- Something about "Mr. Murphy." Not sure what that was about
That's about all I can remember ... hope this helps
