That might be bad info, unless your source trumps the SCP. The last comm we received from him said we had enough in the pool to meet our hiring needs through the end of the year.

You think there will be another class after October?

The SCP does based on his Aug 13 update:

"Current plans are to continue to hire throughout the remainder of the year with a new hire class of 23 planned for August 13th, followed by smaller classes in SEP, OCT, and NOV. We will take a break in December due to peak, as usual."

When we hired about 67 straight to the right seat on the MD11 in '06, our Chief Pilot at the time called those new hires "Purple Nuggets". Purple is a FedEx color.
I think the civilian equivalent would just be FNG. (F'ing New Guy)

You can't say F'ing anymore and it is politically incorrect to say GUY
using it as a Gender Nuetral term.

Dragon,
Would your company let you out of your rotation early to go test/interview? How flexible are they regarding that? I'm guessing they would be a bit upset. Let's say you get the email to go test just a couple of weeks into your 60-day overseas sked... I also wonder if FedEx allows you to push a testing date out until you return.

Guard Bud of mine received test invite and was able to do the testing after he returned form his 60 day tour.
