What are the chances of a new hire getting Hong Kong? If initially assigned the 757, does the seat lock restrict one from transitioning to the 767 until the 2 year lock is expired? How is seniority issued for the individuals in a new hire class?
Many thanks,
LPC

If the 757 is your last choice on your bid then you don't incur a seat lock and are free to move when the next system bid occurs.
Class seniority is based on the last four of your SSN. Highest number equals higher seniority.

I thought the seat lock only applied to lateral or down bids. If you bid a higher paying seat, isn’t that allowed with some kind of cumulative extension to the lock you already have?

I was thinking along the lines of those guys in my new hire class who were awarded the airbus or MD and were not eligible to bid in the recent vacancy.

Partially correct. They were not able to bid another widebody FO seat or downbid to the 757 right seat. Nothing precluded them from bidding any Captain seat (obviously holding it is another story). Being able to bid a WB FO seat or any left seat as a 757 FO has nothing to do with where 757F falls in your standing bid.

Does FedEx have hiring preference to pilots coming from the freight world at places like Empire, Mountain air cargo, Amflight? Or would it be better to go to a 121 regional for a few years? I would go to Empire if they had some kind of flow to FedEx but to my knowledge nothing of the sort exists right now.

Chances are pretty good. Once offered the CJO you should let KD know that you are interested in going to HKG. You might have to bypass a class or two to be offered it.
