FWIW...a recent interview class had- 2 guys with heavy intl time, no sponsors, not offered the job and 3 guys with either "just" RJ or pointy nose time, but with 3 letters of rec and sponsors were offered the job...class before that one had 2 pointy nose guys with sponsors and offered the job, the 4 heavy intl guys with MD-11 type ratings and no sponsors, not offered the job...jump to your own conclusions.

I have a question, even though I'm NOWHERE near qualified...
For the company administered medical exam, could someone who has already been through this process shed some light on what they do?
I'm especially interested to hear what they do for color vision testing. Thanks

Do NOT let not having a sponsor deter you. It has been stated several times that guys/gals without sponsors, but with competitive qualifications will get a chance. Last word I heard was that about 10% of the slots were to go to people without sponsors under the current chief pilot.

I guess what I am trying to say is don't get discouraged by one partial statistic. Although we as pilots are always grasping for some conspiracy theory to justify current events.

The fact that those without a sponsor or recs were turned down in this case is most likely a reflection on their performance in the interview. If Fedex offers you an interview, the job is yours to lose. They don't waste time or $$ interviewing folks they don't want to hire.
