Anyone think they'll actually re-open the app window any of these days? Or should I stop holding my breath?

Pretty sure you have to be a US resident for the last 5 years to be hired at FedEx unless you are in the armed services.

100-120 more new hires this summer/fall (...with an initial focus on sending pilots with MD-11/KC-10 worldwide experience to ANC this summer/fall)

Soon to direct hire into all FO seats except 777.

New hire training will then pause during peak --- Nov-Dec '11.

Then restart in Jan '12 @ 20 per month for next 5-7 years.

Once upon a time I think I read somewhere that an ANC home address could get you moved to the top of the stack pretty quick at either Brown or Purple, all other requirements being met.

Any truth to that still?

I know where you where Wednesday and Thursday, or at least where your source was.

From the mouths of PC and JG within the past week --- but I guess it's still just their (pretty well informed!) opinion.

...it truly can't be "fact" until 2018

Right now, I think having MD-11/KC-10 experience and willingness to accept an ANC domicile will get you moved to the top of the stack extremely quickly.

In fact, all 6 of those pilots who tested last Wed fit that profile.

This should be true until they finish hiring for the ANC slots this summer.
