Much appreciated!
Nobody can tell the future. But the magic 8 ball says, if you got hired right now, it's looking good. Guys on probation holding 757 captain training slots, newhires going directly into the right seat of 777's. I just checked for you, looks like a bunch of new 777 first officers got secondary lines this month, and were given international trips. However, you don't know that you would be one of the pilots going directly into the 777, and could have to wait for the next bid. If you get hired at the end of their hiring binge, and the economy goes down the tubes, the magic 8 ball says you shouldn't get furloughed (never happened at FedEx), but you could be the junior guy on reserve on the 757.
Who knows? The economy keeps pumping, the hiring continues, you move quickly. It doesn't, you don't.
