This subject has been on another thread, but I wanted to get some more response on the issue.
It was brought up that FDX will not consider furloughees except from USAir.
My contact at FDX says that there was a memo stating the rumors about not hiring furloughed pilots was untrue due to potential lawsuits. The new hires may require signing a letter giving up any previous seniority numbers but that has not been determined.
At AA, the company must offer a furloughed pilot recall even if he has sent a letter "resigning" his rights. I understand each airline may be different.
It's no wonder that the FDX management would be hesitant to hire a furloughee.
Has anyone seen the memo mentioned above?
