In my class we had two corporate, but one had previous 121 pic experience.

Correct. The way I read the post I was responding too was that there were very few if any 135 guys. I was just pointing out they’re actually represented at a much higher level (closer to 20%).

I see your point there...we’d like some more frequent system bids to negate that effect. I’ve only been around for a few years, so this is the only version I’ve known.

System bid establishes the minimum desired staffing level.
Say 777 FO is at 500.
Following a system bid, 460 FedEx pilots have opted for 777 FO. Company can hire 40 people to fill the remaining slots.
If 500 FedEx pilots bid it, then No new hires to the 777
