Wow ... that's almost 10 years older than you usually chase. Glad to hear you're over that.

Has anybody who did a meet and greet in Apr or May 06 been called for an interview yet?

I can't believe there hasn't been a pilot caught on the Dateline show yet.

Normy - How many in your interview group were hired?

Geauxfly - Are you still tracking this? If so, could you post the latest numbers?

G3Driver

Are there any recent interviews or anyone in the pool that did not have a sponsor help them get in?

JDriver

You must have a sponsor. It is part of the hiring process.

Don't think it was a good mood. It is your job to loose when you go to the interview. FedEx doesn't take the "top 10%" out of an interview group. If 100% are qualified, have the right "stuff," then 100% get hired. If 0% have it, 0% get hired.

Thanks to NORESTER from fi.com for this below info. I copied it and am posting it here. Thanks Normy for the additional info.

Here's that update from April 19/20 interviews. Assumptions are that everyone up to March 14/15 is out of the pool. If anyone has conflicting data please post.

Looks like the remainder of the March poolies will get called for the November Class, and the April and May folks could get the two classes in Dec.

JDriver....thanks for transferring the information. I was trying to resist my FI/APC crack habit (and watch LSU toss away a great opportunity). I know of one guy who got called from the 19/20 Mar interview group for the 30 Oct class. They have been very true to the FIFO process so I consider everyone prior to that to have gotten calls (they may have deferred classes but at least they got a call). I've heard (or seen, can't remember) that there are 22 in the 30 Oct class with a mix of FO/SO slots. Rumor still has pool drained by Christmas.

I hope the rumor is true. The way I see it is that the only way for that to happen is for the class size to increase significantly. Anyone see it differently?

Does anyone have any class size data for the December Classes?
