International hubs are CAN (Guangzhou, China), CDG (Paris) and to a lesser extent KIX (Osaka, Japan)

Just curious, why doesn't FedEx open EWR or OAK domiciles? Seems like a lot of trafffic through them, and I think it would increase applicants.

Probably because they don't have enough trips that originate and terminate there. It's also an increase to cost and actually provides less flexibility with crews once they're domiciled in base.

"Increase applicants"...lets just say that isn't on any list when FedEx looks at creating a pilot domicile.

I don't think there's a lack of applications at FedEx.

EWR was a domicile until the 90s

We had a EWR domicile once. When we were posturing for a strike
('98?) the EWR folks were the most radical. I always assumed that Management closed it to get even with them. With United's bid base there is might be easy to j/s with them.

The 767 domicile in IND is relatively new. I always thought that I'd like an MD base there and that I would bid it.
