junior pilots that move backwards complain. Senior pilots tell tales of past excesses. Junior pilots whine about senior pilots! History repeats itself!

Let’s say the company only needs more pilots on a specific fleet. The 767 for example. Are the junior pilots who are already on the 767 safe? Seems pointless for someone to be displaced out of the very fleet that they are needed.

What’s the low down on the positions that are being reduced? Curious outsider here.

having previously awarded or actually trained from previous awards is irrelevant. This is what I understand it to be.

(Note: Not at all what I want to happen!)

This is the result of fdx spraying and praying hiring into WBs, now seniority is all out of whack. Time for realignment. Welcome to fdx!!!!
