Another question
How long is the "swim" in the hiring pool for both FedEx and UPS? Is it "first in - first out" or is the time in the pool based on the qualifications and hours of the new hire?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Arrgh! And I thought the cool leather Air Force jacket would actually help me out!

FedEx recently has hired directly to the right seat of the Airbus. I had a sim last night and their was a f/o with employee number 611xxx on FTD 2 in an earlier sim. I asked my instructor about that and he said that person was a new hire!
