Exactly. I was responding to a rumor that said FDX is going to hire 70/month for next five years. That would be 4200 pilots. That means the crew force would practically double. Highly unlikely.

I agree with everything you said except the quoted part. I don't think you'll see guys bailing unless they are year 1-2 guys and living driving distance to a UAL/DAL fairly junior domicile.

Latest intel: starting with 7/11-12 classes, 2 classes per month. Still only projecting 40 new hires per month. The remaining being instructors and returning pilots.

If FedEx was planning on hiring 600 this year, how many does the July class put them at..? 300?

I'm currently in my first year at Alaska and love it here. I also live in the Seattle area and when I get based there, QOL will be great. So I'm eating my words when I told my wife, "I'm done applying for jobs....unless FedEx calls." Well guess what? FedEx called. So I'm curious of all your perspectives. Is the money and change in market (flying boxes, not people) worth the change in lifestyle? I'm sure that's a loaded question, but have at it.

The money is great. But money truly isn't everything. Flying boxes is easier but not compared to living in domicile.

The vacation system is what makes it for me. Incredible.

Just had my topoff with one of your counselors by the way - made me feel a little bit more comfortable.

Pray you don't interview with an ex Eagle driver. JK
