I talked to one of our Flexes that works with the BI/New Hire program. He says the plan is to try to bring on 150 by the end of Dec, approx 50/month. For example, in Nov he said there are 30 727 FO and 20 727 SO slots.

Is the purple nugget program still alive and well, or not? Also, does it look like most brought out of the pool will be going to the Boeing (727) as previous post implies?

Holding my breath at the bottom of the pool...

Got the call this morning for 23 Oct class date. I interviewed Mar 15/16. A guy I kept in touch with from my interview class also was called today for the same class date. The FedEx rep said there will be 9 727 FOs and 16 727 SOs in the class. Hope this helps all with the timeline. Good luck!

Lawless,

How many folks from your group interviewed on 15/16 Mar? Did they all make it into the pool?

Combined with info from flightinfo, it appears that the last class in october is full. As soon as someone gets a call for a November class date, please ask how many folks would be in the class. If KnightFlyer's post is correct, that should empty the pool.

We had an even dozen interview. They did the standard split and we had 6 man groups. All made it through the sim and everyone I kept in contact with (the 6 in my group) got the job. I don't know about the other five. All the guys I kept in contact with are already on property or are in class for October 23. When I get to Memphis, I will post as much info as I can garner regarding training dates and class sizes. Once again, good luck. The pool is getting shallow enough you should be able to stand in it.

Cheers

Past,
The funny thing is that my supervisor is watching me write this post. Inquiring minds want to know.

This is the last week of the fiscal year. Ran out of flying hours. You can imagine the rest.

Lawless - thanks for the info.
