Not previous military-- a ton.

No PIC turbine. I know of not one.

"Smallest" plane I know of is several B-1900 guys have been hired here. The one that pops into my brain was a check airman at his company.

Not saying he/she isn't here without PIC turbine, but I haven't met that person yet. My gut says that was removed from requirement so if the right candidate came along they could grab them. By right candidate, I suspect that means someone type rated on the MD11, 767, or 757, and more than likely willing to go to an FDA. This is all 100% conjecture.

A new hire could probably give you a better break down of class statistics...

The folks getting hired here after the PIC requirement dropped look a lot like the ones hired before it was to me--very qualified, high time pilots who would be competitive at any company hiring. Military guys are IP/EP qual'd, and a lot of the other guys are either check airmen or 767/757 type rated.

I'm sorry if I missed it but does anybody know what the current competitive flight times are on people interviewing? Thanks

Plenty of guys hired with turboprop time only before the PIC jet requirement and the hoffman debacle. Interesting I reciently heard from a very reliable source that the many of the superhuman 10 s spit out by the hoffman super computer are not making past the SBI part of the interview. Give me solid 7s military or civilian with a good attitude, personality and flying skills that are happy to be here and you would be happy to fly around the world with.

Cautiously optimistic...but, when you go from PC to anyone is has get better...right?!

I sure hope not, as he's got no experience flying night freight, international, or any of our airplanes...

I "heard" bad things about him coming in, since then some good, but I don't give much credit to rumors.

Default Recent FedEx Interview advice

Greetings to all here!

I have a FedEx interview scheduled later in February and have read through some of the threads here. Apparently the process has changed. Day one is some extremely challenging computer based testing and the day two panel and CRM interviews are contingent on successful day one results. Also, it seems as of the sim eval no longer exists...

Does anyone have any recent advice, tips or suggestions to offer? If so, please feel free to reply here or send me a PM.

Thank you in advance.

relax take deep breaths. The hardest part is over. If you're getting interviewed they want you.

The CBT portion is straightforward. Use the demos. You can do them multiple times before proceeding with the scored portion. The Aero knowledge section is exactly what you'd expect there's similar exam data out there to be had.

In the SBI just do your best to stay calm think the situation through. You will NOT think of everything, but that's not a bad thing.

Good luck!!
