Oh, we're here all right. Class started on schedule on Nov 18. We are 2 days into indoc. I could give you a very complete briefing on the corporate organization of FedEx, and by noon tomorrow, my new uniform pants will be properly tailored. But, you probably are more interested in other news.
All 24 of us can probably plan on remaining at the bottom of the totem pole for awhile. We were told very clearly today that there would be no December class. Maybe March is the latest word. Looking to hire about 150 next year. We are all going 727 S/O. We got to list our dream bids today, but frankly, my dream bid right about now is the panel on the 72. That's a good thing, because I think I'll be able to get very acquainted with it. No complaints. We are all thanking our lucky stars to be here.
I'm no expert yet, but if I had any recommendations for anyone already in the company, I'd recommend a very early retirement. I mean, what's left after completing 727 S/O training? Seize the moment, and retire early. Those of us at the bottom of the food chain will do our best to pick up any slack.
