FedEx - let's interview 100 and we will hire 100. We don't pull punches, and we remain as objective as we can with a simulator and scenario based problem at our interview. But we still have 4000 qualified pilots left camped next to the phone.

UPS - Let's hire 150 this year and furlough them asap. And we made a billion in profit.

FedEx or bust my bros. The rest don't compare.
Agree. Somebody said it well on another thread that getting hired is "winning the Fedex lottery".

Just stay current and hold on until they call, and have Emerald in the speed dial and cash in the MM for the prep.
