Default new hires going where?

where are new hires being based? Used to be ANC was the least wanted base but then it went to foreign bases. Thinking of jumping from my legacy to my original choice but have a family now and need to think of the pros and cons

I would say unless you wanted Hong Kong (specifically), you’re going to Memphis, 100%. Haven’t seen a new hire to Cologne or Anchorage in 2-3 years, and we’ve have a splattering of Hong Kong spots but, again, you have to volunteer to go there.

Usually any vacancies for Cologne, Anchorage, Indy and LA are swallowed up by current pilots during a bid. Rumor is our next one will be in September.

lol yup. They always emphasize that FedEx was their original choice even though they didn't have an updated app on file in the 12-18 months leading up to March 2020.

I think a lot of people always wanted the hottest girl/guy at the party (FedEx). The 3rd hottest girl showed interest and they settled. Now that they have been served divorce papers they are on the prowl for the hottest chick/guy again. The problem now is that 15-20k people are in the same boat.

Or maybe someone us waited for fedex to call us for 10 years and went with who put us in class so we could feed our families. Dont always assume you have the answers to everyone's career goals. Just be glad somehow yours never had to make a decision at a crossroad multiple times.

Show a little humility.

My gosh I did. I pointed out that a lot wanted to be here but someone else called first (tried to be a bit funny). Chill out francis. Maybe you meant to quote the person prior to my comment. I left a Legacy so I know better than most brother or sister or snowflake.

Now back on topic. You are 98% likely to go to MEM and may have the option to select HKG but only if you want.
