Default How long to hear back?

Just wondering. Got an auto response email Empire received my application and if they are interested I would hear back. How long after would I assume they are not interested?

I interviewed back last April and didn’t get hired. New rating since then and more hours.

But as I previously interviewed and didn’t make the cut wondering if I’m wasting my time applying

Thanks and happy holidays all

The only route we know of is SBA - ONT. FedEx determines the routes for the aircraft and until they inform our flight dept we are unaware.

So in the grand scheme of things, the SkyCouriers will replace all the Caravan routes? or will the 208s stay with Empire for the foreseeable future?

Or this is all up to Fedex management? I guess this is true for MAC routes as well.

Yes.

Joining aside Fedex doesn’t tell us anything. We often find out about base/airframe changes a week or so before the change. It would seem logical to assume the 408 will replace some 208 routes as well as some ATR routes. All we know for sure is SBA is planned to be the first base to see the 408.

Default ATR for SAN

Anyone bidding for the ATR San Diego base?

Looks like it will be a new route going to Tijuana.

Anyone know what the schedule is? 5 days a week? any overnights?

Thanks for the reply!

Default Well I heard back

Got my answer “thanks for your interest”

I guess 3300 total time, an atp and 1000 hours point to point isn’t good enough

No idea yet. Still being planned between the faa and the afac. Plan is to start the 25 NM flight in summer 2023. No firm schedule until the plan is planned.

AFAC??

Looks like mainline FEDEX used to fly it using a 757 until the 1st part of this year. they must have realized the fuel burn was costing them.

Anyone able to speak to what the facial hair rules are on the Part 135 side for the Caravans and soon to be 408s? Trimmed beards allowed?
