Long time reader but I haven't replied before...
I heard from a flight ops specialist during the pinning on ceremony today there will be two classes of 25 in September, 3 classes of 25 in October, and two more of 25 in November...that's 175 before Christmas. That should clean out the pool so get ready to dry off.

OK ... I give up. I've been a FedEx pilot for almost 12 years now ... what's a pinning on ceremony?

Plus they have some old Marine Recon Sgt. beat the wing into your chest till your shirt is nice and bloody..........Oops sorry, that's what the instructor does during F/E training. Sorry for the inaccuracies.
Actually it's not a big event. You show up get wings and your picture made with a member of mgmt, they do send a nice photo to your home, then it's off for a FREE lunch. I believe families have shown up before, but it's a long drive to MEM. On some instances a few FedEx friends who are in AOC may come in to watch.

If you are not "special" you get to wait a little longer.
Sorry, but it's the cold hard truth.
