About how many new hires per class?

Does FedEx train during the holidays?
From ALPA e-mail today:

"FedEx Express began a class of 16 pilot new hires on August 8. Seven of these new hires are going to the ANC domicile as MD-11 First Officers. Six are headed to CGN as B757 First Officers. One is going to HKG as an Airbus First Officer and the two remaining new hires are being trained as MEM B727 First Officers. This class of pilots came from a variety of backgrounds. We have pilots joining us from the USAF, USN, ANG, Atlas Air, Miami Air, Cathay Pacific, Pinnacle, Omni, US Air, Gulf and Caribbean Cargo, Mesa, Peak Aero and NASA.

The junior seniority number, or the infamous "Caboose" is now 4552 on the updated Master Seniority List."


As for Holiday sims, I have had a sim on the 23rd of December. You can probably count on the 24-26th off, along with Thanksgiving day. Beyond that, you could have a training event.

Do you mean invitations for an interview? The testing portion being Phase I?

Probably OK. I stay at the Comfort Suites Memphis $49, Hacks Cross and Bill Morris Pkwy. Just ask for the crew rate. New hotel, free food in the am, and free wifi.

That place is great. The Holiday Inn across the street from it stopped the $49 crew rate.

The fairfield inn southaven is fine and not bad for getting to the interview site. Watch out for cops driving up Airways. Taking I 55N to Shelby drive east is probably the smotthest way to get there. There is roadwork on airways between shelby dr and the fedex complex on airways so give yourself an extra 5 minutes. Leaving 30 minutes early will get you there 10 minutes, but my guess is you will leave an hour early.
