Loyalty to the max. Ironically, FedEx called me during my second week at UPS and I politely declined. The fire had passed for FedEx and now I'm brown for life. No regrets.
You and I must've gotten mixed up in the cosmos somehow. I had the exact opposite situation. Pursued Brown hard cause I had all kinds of ties with them. Grew up just outside of The Ville. But they never called... Got the offer from Purple. Two weeks before my Purple class date, Brown called. But the wife and I had already moved on in our minds. It was hard to pass up the Brown seniority. It would've meant top 15% my last fifteen years, but we're not looking back. Sometimes you just have to pull the trigger and block out the noise.

How often does the review board meet do decide to send an interview invite, once every few weeks or months?

Does not having a PE now drastically reduce your chances of getting an interview since they have wiped clean all previous LOR's you may have had?

I have a quick question about the new PE program. I don't have any connections to current pilots but I am friends with a current crew scheduler. Does the PE program extend to other departments within FedEx? Or is it basically not applicable since he isn't a pilot?

Only the hiring department themselves really know the true answers to these questions. And the answers probably change every few months.

Any recommendations on how to study for the interview? I already purchased EC but am more concerned with how to prepare for the tests. Thanks.

That seems to be the consensus. Are their tests that similar?

Similar enough FedEx terminated the developer who was on probation at FedEx.

So yeah...I'd say its a pretty damn good test prep program. Just don't get so enamored with the testing part you don't prep for day 2 of the interview. I see people overweight the prep on the test side at the expense of SBI, etc at times with bad results.

FO I am flying with this month told me he spent over 160 hours preparing for his interview and his tests. It was a grind at times. He reminds me every leg the effort to get here was worth it.

Thanks for the tips. How should one study for the SBI?

You mentioned that you are already signed up with ECIC. They host SBI Prep webinars. Sign up and attend one of those. Tickets go fast so be sure to sign up early.
