FedEx is a tough life for a lot of guys. During 05,06,07 we had significant attrition. Greater than 10%. Should airlines start hiring again you will see the same thing.
 
Lots of guys I know interviewed at FedEx. Now if they get hired/take the job that is a different story. My guess is that most will go. Second year at FedEx beats most pay rates at Jetblue.
 
Remember all the pilots who left SWA, FedEx, UPS, etc in 2000-2001 for the great jobs at UAL, AAL, DAL, NWA, USAirways. When you make a move there is an element of luck. Often is will take 10 years before you know if you made the right move.
 
I think there will be a noticeable, not expansive, attrition of mid to senior FO's at Jblue for the majors in 2013. The draw of heavy international metal will win over schedules and bases. It's the pilots way.
