Timeline is widely varied. It depends a lot on the seniority of the sponsor, and that sponsor’s engagement with his/her fleet captain. Best thing your sponsor can do - go to his/her fleet captains’s office and bang the drum for you. Repeatedly. I wouldn’t call it a silver bullet either - FedEx PEs certainly do not always drive an interview. It’s a chance for the sponsor to highlight a sponsee who was already qualified for the job. It’s definitely a good thing, but jt hasn’t been as powerful as the pilots would have liked. Best of luck to you though…IMHO, FedEx is definitely a career worth waiting for.
