I am hearing the Monday drop will be:
MD-4
757-7
Airbus-7

Again no 76 and no more 77.. interesting. They must be backed up in training..

I wonder if they want to train up the 757 FOs first since 65% of them on the current list are headed to other seats... Then in the 2nd half of the year they'll fill the open 777 and 767 new hire spots.

They still hiring into 75 CGN or are FDA's filled up?

CGN is full. HKG will have openings.

Any update on today’s class drop?

7 A300
7 757
5 MD11

Caboose is 5029

Thanks.

CGN full. There were 30 openings for HKG FO and only 14 went. I’m a little surprised they aren’t offering it for new hires

Has FedEx had over 5,000 pilots in the past? Slowly approaching 3,000 at brown.

First time the 'list' has hit 5000.
Probably a few less than that active.
It gets crunched each JUN/JULY.

Any rumors for mondays class drops yet?

Looks like MD, Airbus, and 757

4-MD
4-Airbus
10-75

What bases are these?

MD too senior in LAX or ANC to go to new hires outright - so MEM.
Airbus only based in MEM - so MEM.
757 based in MEM and CGN so possible one or two CGN but most are - MEM.

All CGN vacancies were filled. Shouldn’t be any new hires headed there this year according to the last system bid.

New class today..

5 - MD
3 - Airbus
9 - 75.

Surprised only 17 in the class.

They run two classes a month around that number. At that rate it’s around 400 for the year.

It’ll be tuff to get to 600 at that rate.

I think that number got skewed at some point. 19-01 Posting said:

"This bid may create unfilled vacancies in some widebody aircraft that will allow new hires to be spread over multiple equipment types. With a need of over 600 incremental pilots over the next 12-18 months, the opportunities to advance in seniority and/or seat position should be readily apparent. Assuming current economic projections, upgrades to the left seat should remain robust over the next five years considering system form expansions and pilot retirements."

Then folks started saying 600 this year. I read that as 600 over the next 18 months, so still normal pace of 400/year as we've done for the last few years.

That math checks out.

Hey quick question. How is seniority determined in class and are they still hand picking the MD fleet?

What Thrust Hold said.

Last four of your social. 9999 being most senior. MD is hand picked and start one day early with FDAs so senior to everyone that starts on Monday.

Yep. Good point.

10 - 757
5 - ABus
5 - MD
3 - 767

Nice to see new hires on the 767 in Memphis.

Did we have any in 2018?

Don't believe so. Maybe a few to HKG.

4/8/19

5 - md11
6 - a300
10 - 757

How does being based in Hong Kong work out? 🤔

Best use the “Search” function. Probably covered in depth elsewhere.

04/22/19

8 - 757
8 - 767
3 - AirBus

No MDs! The apocalypse draws near...

Or it may have just been the Easter holiday.

No triples either. Guess they’re all going to the desert next.

Yep...reading sarcasm on the Internet never works. I’ll show myself out.

What was the breakdown on today’s class?

Not sure about the drop, but I can see there were no 777
