I don't know if the program is still active but it used to be that if you had one year at FDX in any position and met the minimum requirements you were guaranteed a pilot interview.

LAX F/O- It's the most senior F/O seat in the company. Several years at least.
If you fly domestic you can do everything from 1 day out and backs (MEM), 1 day layovers, to 7 day trips. Many permutations.
Many MEM trips are 1 day. None of the other domiciles have 1 day trips. 2 day minimum...
That is incredible, really! I hope that you can get that in your next contract. For us we were given a signing bonus. $35,000 for widebody Capt. down to $20,000 for a narrowbody F/O.
Thanks for the clarification.
Given the above: How would you exert "leverage" or pressure on management to conclude negotiations in a timely fashion with an acceptable T/A?
As for FDX- We are entering our busiest time of the year extremely undermanned!
Do you recall what the retro checks were for, percentage wise? Dollar wise? How many years were you in negotiations?
Our T/A has a 10% raise the first year so a "real" retro check should be 10% of the money earned during negotiations? For us that is 2.5 years.
2.5 x yearly salary x 10% =...
He had a good ride. I wonder what the career progression would have been for a guy hired at AA in 1978? Probably pretty good until 2001, maybe even longer.
I know of at least two who left FDX for AA in AUG/SEP 2001. One was a 727 Capt. They chose poorly.

Oohhh. It's a big secret. OK then.
Truly, I hope you get significant gains. I doubt you'll get them unless you "bring the pain". I'm not talking strike.
