Latest New Hire Class
From FXALPA:
"The class of twenty two pilots began their new hire indoctrination on June 15. The new hires were assigned as FOs MEM in 757, A-300,MD-11 and 3 were assigned CGN 757. This was a very diverse class. The backgrounds were FedEx Corporate, FedEx Pro instructors, US Navy, USAF/ANG, United, Southwest, American, Delta, CommAir, Endeavor, and North American Airlines. Alas, no Marines in this class."
Surprising.

Interesting note...two guys I know that were called for July interviews have had apps on file for years. I don't know if having an app on file that long counts for anything, but it would be nice to think they are at least asking the guys who've had apps in since 2006-07 if they are still interested.

Pax airline to Fedex?
Those individuals are smart. FedEx has not hired for years, never furloughed, has a high number of retirements imminent and they don't have to deal with flight hostesses and dirtball pax.

Be careful what you ask for! During the FAR 117 Crew Rest discussions, one of the justifications for the Cargo Cutout was that "those guys don't get as tired because they don't have to deal with Flight Attendants!"
No kidding!*?

Hey I've been leafing through this thread and I came up with a few questions.
1. On the work history of the online app it keeps saying, "there are gaps in your employment history." Basically, some years back when I was an FNG I flew part time for a corporate gig and part time flight instructing. The jobs overlap but I still get that message, anyone else have that problem?
2. Are the latest batch of nh's without TPIC or a 75/767 type? (As I have niether)
3. How many days off can a new hire expect get per month? I'd likely be commuting from Florida. How are the HKG schedules and seniority list movement? I have family in the Philippines and wouldn't mind living in Asia for a few years also.
Thanks in advance!
