Curious.. on a scale of unlikely -- forget about it -- impossible.... what are the chances that a guy with a decent resume but NO internal rec getting the call? Debating whether to take that dang FE written for a 3rd time or not..

Know a guy with a fighter background and a 73 type rating that interviewed the second day with SWA and was hired.

That filter doesn't exist!!!

At minimum, it would put your chances from zero to a chance in hell. Seriously though, never assume it'll never happen. You can't win if you don't play.

You may not get in on the legacy round but at some point they will have to go outside if the family and look into a larger database and you will want to be there when they do.

A friend of mine is a Viper guy that just got hired at SWA. He's in the June 8 class. FWIW, he did get the type prior.

Anybody know what the demographics have looked like at FDX so far?

Recently in a meeting it was stated by a management guy that some who did not have any recommendations would be interviewed if their resume was competitive.

This should be true until they finish hiring for the ANC slots this summer.
Are all new-hires going to the MD-11 right now? If so, what are the chances of someone without MD-11 time getting called for an interview before they fill all the ANC slots?
