It took me a few hours to input my stuff when I did originally try to submit. The window closed while I was inputing. I was that guy. When I hit submit it said we are no longer accepting pilot profiles. The original link I hit to enter my info also said we are no longer accepting pilot profiles. You probably heard me scream.
It all worked out in the end and I eventually was hired by FedEx.
If you are interested in FedEx put in your name an SSN. Then update your profile later. This way you are in the system. People can do recommendations on you if you exist, and you are not locked out. From experience the system does have periodic maintenance. They haven't roundfiled profiles to my knowledge. Trashing profiles would alienate canidates, and make people reaccomplish letters of recommendation.
Good luck, and don't be that guy.
Right, but the problem is, you can't EVEN GET IN to the system to even update right now. I have been in there since summer of 04. But when you go to the link, it gives this message;
"We apologize for the inconvenience, but the system has gone down for maintenance. Please check back at a later time."
Problem is, it's been like this for about a month or so now. I could be wrong, but if you dodn't update every six months, won't it kick you out? If so, I'm afraid that if it stays under "maintenance" that six month window may expire, without anyway to get back in if the window is closed.
