Default FDX-Guesses on how senior CGN will go...

Should this maybe be a poll? But what are your guesses on how senior Cologne will go...

Will anyone give up widebody Captain pay for it?

Left seat, relatively senior. Right seat, junior or unfilled. Now if it were a widebody base.... There are too many WB vacancies stateside to make this worthwhile.

Year one: 177 Captain, 61 F/O (probationary)
Year five: 200 Capt, 128 F/O
Max: 218 Capt, 158 F/O

Any EMEA flying would come with $9 or $7/hr Int'l override.

How many crew members do you guys have living in Europe? I would guess 32 positions is a pretty easy fill, but what do I know.

Now FDX has crew bases in HKG (CAN) and CGN (CDG) when/if/how long before UPS figures out that perhaps they should recall and post a vacancy bid in SZX and CGN?

I always figured that the furlough was a negotiating tactic.
Offer guys a base in China and or Europe, and they'd have to pay extra to get guys to go (FDA LOA).

However, furlough, wait, then open bases in Europe and China and recall with, "Go to China/Europe or quit".

Then hire newbies to fill the slots on first year pay at no extra (LOA) cost.

But then again, that would be evil and manipulative -

I'm guessing there are a few retired USAF types that loved Germany and will jump at the chance to live over there.

Perhaps some A300 Capts that already live in Europe and currently fly SIBA.

those that are mil and have an ability to read the LOA might find CGN a very interesting bid, especially if they can hold the left seat.
