Do you have any idea on how long the board takes to review? Also, do you know when they will re-review if they don't move an applicant forward?

Any idea on how many PEs have been submitted since the program rolled out about 3 months ago?

There is still a place on the app to upload letters of recommendation. Same place you upload your resume. The FedEx pilot would have to give you the letter to attach to the app. I haven't heard if this helps at all or not. Perhaps it's for rec letters from other sources outside of FedEx.

From what the head recruiter told me at the job fair, if you get rejected by the pass board it's a year until they would review you again.

No idea on both questions. We are not allowed to look behind the curtain. Also no clue on how or who from the PE pool gets selected to even go to the pass board.

How long is the PASS Board? Or how long does it take for them to make their decisions, if anybody knows? Thanks!

Pilot Application Selection and Screening. I think, at least.

The way it was explained to me at the job fair is 1. The computer screens the apps per it's algorithm/points system. 2. A captain review board eyeballs the apps selected to make sure there are no anomalies before they make an interview offer.

Recent 7/17 update with some info ...

Pilot Hiring: In early May, some of you participated in the FedEx Pilot Career Expo designed to showcase our great airline and our amazing crew force. The event was a resounding success and the VP of Flight Operations, plans to run this event again next year. By the way, a special thanks to the Airbus Fleet Captain for running this vital program. Why did we do this? With the impending pilot shortage looming, we’ll soon see a ”buyers’ market” in the pilot hiring world. If the numbers prove to be correct, there may not be enough qualified pilots to cover the entire airline industry, so promotion and a plan to train within may be a necessity for some airlines. For now, I need your help in promoting the virtues of working at FedEx! We can do this by volunteering to help in youth programs, visit schools and other STEM-related organizations. If you need pointers or material to present, meet with me – I’d love to help!

Personal Endorsement Program: Last month our Fleet Captains pushed the first list of PE’s to the Pass Board. After successful completion of the Pass Board, we are seeing our first group of interview invites from our PE group. Thanks for taking part in this program!

What do you guys think the chances are of getting hired with less than 1000 TPIC? Prior enlisted military. Masters degree. Recent regional captain upgrade.
Thanks
