I don't think they would start hiring simply because they like spending money training new folks. Maybe if Fedex had PBS, they wouldn't need to hire.

Straight from HR today at WAI, these are NOT folks who just applied in this window, but leftovers (poolies?) from before. They didn't have an exact timeframe on when interviews for this current window except "soon".

I'm a newbie on the forum, but PBS is Preferential Bid System, talked about like the holy grail by many....

guaranteed to keep the top 10% happy and the rest of the world mostly annoyed... IMHO

It isn't good for anyone.

Anybody that "thinks" they want it needs to educate themselves.

It is the Situational Based Interview.

Basically, during the interview process, they give a "what if" scenario, typically that doesn't really have a correct solution. They want to see what you would do in that situation, what your thought process is and how you gather information to solve the problem. Also look to see how you work with the rest of your crew, who the interviewers become during this portion of the interview. They then ask you to tell them how you think you did during this process. As crew members, they offer information and opinions, but have "poker" faces as you decide on a course of action.
