Just the opposite, the company will have to hire 4471 more Good luck to everyone giving it a shot!

Yeah, I know...

On a more serious note, has anyone heard anything about hiring numbers and when calls/interviews might start?

Anyone know when the application window closes? I know originally, it was going to open on the 15th of Jan and remain open for 30 days. However, since it was delayed, is it still going to close on Feb 14th (or 15th depending on if 30 days is really 30 days or "a month") or will they make it 30 days from when the window actually opened? I'm trying to get my FE written done on Friday, but it might not happen due to WX stuff. Next day I'd be able to get it done would be next Thurs, after the original closing date.

The initial email from their SCP posted on this website said that the window would open "on or about the 15th" and that it would be open for 60 days (not 30). Although it delayed a week I would guess that it will open for 60 days from when it opened which puts the last day in March. That said, its their show so I guess there's nothing to keep them from saying "holy cow, its only been 31 days and we've got 20,000 apps...lets close the window now". I dont work there so take this for what is worth

Thanks. I'm gonna plead brain burnout. Found the first e-mail I had forwarded to me that said 30 days, then I found the second e-mail that said 60 days.

Quick question:
Would it be worth it (ie. would it enhance my App/chances of interview) if I were to go and get the CFI/CFII MEA certifications? I already indicated that Ive been a military instructor for the last 11 years, but would having those civilian certs mean more to Fedex interviewers??

Thanks!
