Do FEDEX Pilots sit reserve other places than Memphis, Subic, LA, and Anchorage? Specifically the hubs of Dallas, Indy, and Oakland. If so, which airplanes and how senior does that go?

No reserve other than the domiciles. We do however, sit hotel standby and airport standby at the other major hubs you listed above. They are lines built just like other lines except there is no actual flying on the line except for the deadhead at the beginning and end of the week. You DH in and go to the hotel. You are then on the hook for a call out for 11 hrs 30mins for hotel stby and 5hrs 30mins for airport stby. You can bid either the midnight to 11:30 or there are some other availibility periods, depends on which hub you are at. You may or may not be called out or used. FedEx usually has a van or two at the hotel that crewmembers can sign out from the front desk of the hotel when you are not on the hook. The hotel stby lines usually go senior because guys who live there bid them, sleep the night in the hotel and then go home for the day if they don't get called out. Hope that answers your question.
