And on a separate and unrelated topic ... Happy Holidays everyone, it's been an honor and pleasure flying with you.

Yes, 18 unfilled HKG FO's but what about the the 39 MEM 75 FO's they were short

That's 57 FO's short of what they need, looks to me as if the company has no choice but to hire several dozen pilots ASAP.

Yes it is. Luckily the HKG based pilots get an extra $4,500/mth housing allowance to make up for the COL adjustment.

CGN based pilots in Germany get an extra $3,500/mth allowance, FWIW.

Europe is about 10 short also...looks like 86-88% filled on the FO side.

Initially 75MEM, but the posting shows a few jumping to the A300MEM.

Cool thanks! I was just wondering if they were going to give them a HGK/CGN bid initially. I heard we are going to hire off the street for HGK/CGN the first part of the year (FEB) and then MEM in the summer.

I wouldn't recommend this company to any pilot looking for a job. We have quickly descended into one of the airlines of last resort.
So, if FDX called YOU for an interview, you'd say "no"?
