Unknown Rider,

Are you referring to the letter written by JB? I can't find anything recent from BM.

In JB's letter, it does say hiring will increase from 14/month to 20/month, through at least November. Plus, as you said, bid out in March/April with vacancies, "at a minimum" for MEM 757, CGN 757, and 777.

Nice letter, with lots of good info. Highly appreciated.

It's posted on the main page at PFC.

There was nothing idle in the MD11, 777, 757 or A300 training dept. With the excesses and re-bids, training never stopped.

Oops, yeah you're right. It was JB.

JB also answered the often-asked question of whether the 767 will be common with the 757, the 777, or both. The answer: common type rating between 757 and 767. The 767 will have 3, 15" Rockwell Collins displays.

That's right. :)

Well, so much for my post from yesterday. The letter from JB addresses the bid specifically.

I told you guys last month bids are designed to close last week in Aril first week in May to inflict maximum damage on summer vacation plans. :)

I'd strongly suspect future 757 cockpits will look exactly like the 767. The. Center 757 CRT screens will go first.

It's a rather informative letter from JB (VP of Flight Ops for you non-FDX types) with lots of good hiring/fleet acquisition info. I don't think it's appropriate to post here. I recommend that the poolies and wannabees get a copy from their sponsors. :D

757 will keep IS&S cockpit. Management doesn't want all their eggs in one basket. If you were management and a software glitch grounded the 767 fleet, would you want the 757 to be grounded also?
