Sitting in the AOC break room today, doing my usual eat all the popcorn I can and drink all the ice tea possible (my way of "sticking it to the man"), I just overheard the nice lady who sets up the final flight/retirement table mention there's on today, and one tomorrow. I saw at least one last week.
Hiring's steady. Retirements are going. MOVEMENT!!!
Good times.

FedEx Hiring
It's neither mil or civilian. They cannot, legally, "look for mil or civilian" and in general they don't prefer. Some classes are more mil, some more civilian, some 50/50.
You don't need an internal rec but they don't hurt.
Just keep your app current, make sure all your t's are crossed and I's dotted (to the extreme) and keep your nose clean. Hang in there. Good luck.

Just got back into the 121 game after a much needed hiatus. Current and qualed, just need a call. Thanks Amigos!

Here is the latest about hiring in the bid that just came out.
Hiring
The training pipeline for the B757/767 is currently at capacity, and we expect it to remain so for the next few years due to our delivery schedules for those aircraft. This bid should create unfilled vacancies in the MD11, Airbus and B777 that will allow us to spread new hires over all equipment types. With a total need for over 600 pilots to be hired over the next 18-24 months, the opportunities to advance in seniority and/or seat position should be readily apparent. Upgrades to the left seat should remain robust over the next 5 years considering system expansion and pilot retirements.

Fedex will be a stop and go for guys. I wonder how many guys will actually show up and how many will stay? Getting 600 guys was easy post 9/11, now, maybe not so easy. There was a reason FedEx was second or third choice for a lot of guys. With big hiring at the majors, it could well be second or third choice again.
