FDX"Big Bid" Rumor - (TAZ do not look here!!)

[sandman2122]

Expect an announcement soon from Boeing/FedEx for pre-owned B757's from GE with the "NEW" blended-wingtips that will reduce wake turbulance criteria.

OK, sandman....

is this a real "real" rumor,　or just one of those to amuse ourselves on flightinfo?

I think people are going to be surprised that the next bid isn't really going to be that big compared to the 2001 monster.

I'm saying 190 new captains TOTAL and will be in late August, the 22nd.

You heard it here first, ante up!

How many guys are in the pool right now? Just talked to a senior pilot in the training dept. and he told me 150 wide body Capts alone coming out in August. Sounds good to me!

 

[Huck]

Lisa D. in the ACP office says it's been moved up to mid July. And she would know....

As to number - I say 32 captains trained per month for 9 months, or 284.

Yo Purple Studs,

How many are expected to retire in the next 5 years?

What are your trips like outta LAX?

When hired is do you get hired as an SO or directly into the MD 11 as an FO?

Thanx,

My girl just got yanked by the frickin' moderator but THANKS! Her name is Kelly Hu, go to maximonline.com and click on Girls of Maxim. Time to go find a new avitar

Oh, 32 capts a month for 9 months...I'll believe it when I see it but I don't think it will be that much. There is absolutely NO open time trips in LA or ANC in either seat, we seem to be pretty well staffed in those two places. Looks like it will be mostly Airbus Capts.
