Well...I DID interview and receive a "thanks, but no thanks" from another airline in the meantime. Errr...that's improvement...right?? At least for a small sliver of time I felt like I was doing SOMETHING in the forward direction.

But, yeah, Fish, you're right. It's been a long time. I know a guy personally that waited almost TWICE that (seriously) to work through the wickets at FedEx. He just very recently finished his IOE. So, if the call comes within the next couple of months I'll count myself more blessed than I already am! In the meantime, I'm flying steady and putting bread on the table so life is good. Still....I sure hope they call soon!!!

Took nine months for my sponsor to get a M&G in Aug '05, then another nine months for the interview in May '06, now waiting for the for the Jan '07 class.. over two years for the process, turned down a SWA interview recently. I guarantee it will be worth it!

If you don't have the job yet, never turn down down an interview at a decent company.

I have the job, provided I don't pi$$ off any current FedEx captains there before probation ends

I'm all about the bird in hand.. etc etc but I am fairly confident FedEx won't be cancelling any class dates soon. Besides, if I wash out of training someone else will have pity on me and take me. Yeah right. Well, I'll just study extra hard so I don't blow it.

Seriously though, I get what you're saying but I think I'll be ok on this one.

Anyone have an opinion on second time interviews? how long it takes to get one and what the chances are the second time. I interviewed jan 06, SBI got me. Praying my sponser has enough pull to get me in one more time. Thanks for any info.

Wow...that sounds like a long time between the M/G and an interview call. Is that amount of time the norm?

Not to trample anyone's hopes but if you do a M/G but FedEx has no intention of calling you anytime soon will they let you know? Basically are there guys who have done M&Gs and then never heard anything back??

M&G does not guarantee an interview.

Nothing is ever guarteneed around here.... but if you are one of the many hopefuls, be sure to keep your stuff up to date, and don't let the FE written go past 2 years. There are no 121 extensions. Some guy got a call recently- it was along the lines of "guess what? we were going to call you in for a January interview, but then saw that you FE written wasn't current. We'll call you next month."

You need to update your online profile every month or so as well.
