I would say zero chance. Entry point +/- a year is 12 years FO and 20 years Capt. The base is very senior and the ones there now will most likely never leave. Most can ride it out another 10 years....and by then I'm guessing the base will be closed anyway.

If that's the case I wonder why my phone has not rang....I would gladly be there tomorrow. Wouldn't it be nice if they just passed along how to break the secret matrix?

Default No Errors!

1) This may sound too simple but make SURE your Pilot Credentials app does not contain errors. A bud I referenced for recently was disappointed he hadn't received an invite. I asked to look at his app and he had 2-3 areas he had simply left blank (attention to detail) as well as some dates that didn't add up in employment. It's a computer program you've got to get past before you can make it to the selection. Don't make your non-selection computer generated.

2). FedEx hires 'Captains'. Every pilot can fly. You must highlight your 'leadership' qualities. Again, the computer selection process is looking for buzz words: safety, check airman, eval, DO, commander, Masters, astronaut ��etc. (we do have a couple former astronauts working here��

3) Yes, heavy time, over 50k is a PLUS. Boeing/MD time is GOLD!

4). Glass cockpit is good.

Lastly, some are getting caught up in the 'pilot shortage'. Folks, there is NO pilot shortage in the good jobs. Many great applicants are still waiting for a call from anybody. Check your resume and app and look for correctness, accuracy and highlight why YOU should be called. It's worth it ��

Good points. Seems simple, but thanks for the reminders. Always time to double check!

How likely is it to hold MEM as a new hire? Possibly on the 757?

Do you have to fill out a new pilot credentials app with the new window? Thanks

Anyone know how many pilots FedEx plans to hire this year?

When classes may be for January interview candidates that are successful?

About how long to class after CJO?

Thanks!! (and sorry for so many questions!)

If you log in, and your info is still there, all you should need to do is update any relevant data.
