Any predictions as to whether or not FedEx will interview/hire new pilots in 2013? How big is the pool currently? Thanks!

Latest word, due to the 727 retirement on June 30, there will be no more new hires in 2013.

More fodder for the "take the first interview, take the first class..." argument. It is often hard to tell when the train will stop, and not just at FedEx. I know the guys and gals hired in Jan/Feb of this year have to going "whew!"

True. They probably are just happy to be on the train, but they might be saying something else after a few years riding the caboose.

Better to be hanging on by your fingernails than waiting outside the gates wondering when they'll open and if you will be invited in!

Now that the Jurassic Jet is being phased out, even caboose is not that bad. Probably 757 FO on reserve. There's lots worse places to be stuck.
