There were 35 unfilled ANC F/O spots on the last bid, which is why new hires went there. I think the last have come out the end of training pipeline this month.

There were 98 unfilled MEM MD-11 F/O spots unfilled on the last bid. The first of these have just entered the pipeline and none have hit the line yet. If FedEx doesn't fill those spots before starting training the 12-01 spots then I think every MEM Mad dog F/O would have a beef. Looks like FedEx is on track, but you have to see the 12-01 training letter.

Probably half they hired will bid to MEM.

The most misspelled word is "moron". Most people spell it " Pelosi".

What would be the beef? If they were unfilled its because nobody on the property bid it. They have another chance to bid it right now. If you bid it you will get it, and if you don't bid it there is no possible beef.

Now we need to start working on "a lot" some people don't seem to know that's actually two words.... I guess "alot" is short for allotment or something, but it doesn't mean a bunch of stuff.

Thanks, Walrus. Great link.

The beef would be - Why do a percentage bid if the positions below you do not get filled?? Do we have a choice of bidding 60% of the actual manning or 60% of the manning and phantom positions?

...very true and should prove to be interesting. Plenty of $$ involved and plenty of slots open to flush out the passover pay

Wow: so now we're going to complain about upgrading to a wide body seat so fast that there aren't enough guys junior to us to fill the entire list until we can hire some more?

That is some beef.
