Not to mention the purchase of all those shinny new Triple Sevens. If you were one of the guys who "paid" that $75, all I can say is "Thanks!"Seriously, none of the pilots at FedEx like the idea of our company charging an application fee, however, most recognize that there is an inherent cost to the process of bringing a new-hire on board, and therefore understand that, especially in today's market, said fee is a cost of doing business, both for the company as well as the pilot applicant. To understand the value of that "fee", just ask any of the guys who have been hired in the past few months. I'd bet that they think it was the best $75 they ever spent.

But now, it just weeds out the SUPER cheap pilots with the qualifications.
If you get an interview you'll spend WAY more than that, assuming one buys a new suit, polishes their shoes and gets a haircut. Being professional is so expensive!

Was there a shortage of qualified folks in the last window?
For those of you who already have a profile, you might want to check the questionare section of your application. They've added a few new questions. When I checked my application today, the questionare section had the red incomplete check next to it.
Good luck!

The instructor hours block is just breaking out what portion of your PIC time was gained in an instructor role. Unless there are specific instructions to do so, I wouldn't count on their system to somehow "include" those instructor hours in your PIC total if you haven't.
