"Unless there is a change in the union contract I doubt very seriously if there would be any European pilots. All new hires are assigned Memphis base and that would mean a green card. If you have a green card fine, but that still doesn't mean you would get Paris any time soon, if ever. Seniority rules when it comes to bidding equipment and bases."
I'm not sure if you work at purple. But not ALL new hires (when they were hiring) went to MEM. Many went to ANC back in the "purple nugget" days.
Also, isn't there a limitation due to the USPS contract? Unless it was for military duty or some other U.S government reason, living abroad is a showstopper as far as getting hired as FedEx. Or rather, living abroad and NOT having a U.S. residence address is.
