Great advice to current and future FDX poolies Albie.

Hiring will resume at some point, but from what I have seen, very few people accurately know when that will take place (and they are not line pilots). Average line pilots won't find out when hiring is taking place until several weeks out at best, once everything is all setup for newhire classes and calls for interviews begin again. Everything else is speculation, which is fun, but not good for basing career decisions on.

To current/future poolies, applicants, and wannabes, even if FDX is your top choice, do NOT pass up on a class date, or opportunities to interview, at your 2nd, 3rd, 4th....choices. As they say, until you're sitting in class with a purple ID and seniority number, there are zero guarantees.

...but to add to speculation, I (as line pilot in the dark) of course also hope hiring resumes soon, and believe there will be some form of it by fall for the 757 in MEM and CGN.
