Huck,
I think it was the late 90's. Lots of great people here from all walks of life. |

Double D,
He's not talking about skin color. FDX's mins used to be 1000 PIC Jet. When that was the stated minimum there were a few ladies hired that did not meet this requirement. What got under every ones skin (no pun intended) was the fact that they let these people in under the minumum acceptable for everyone else. Kinda like reverse discrimination.. :) Past.... Thanks for putting my fears to rest. Double D |

Iif you can fly and do both, all the better, just make sure you do meet the quals and keep in mind, it will get you an interview, not guarantee a job (offer).
I would be interested in hearing more about how to utilize "getting in" to my advantage. I am currently with FedEx doing as you suggest. I am an equipment operator. I got lucky enough to be hired straight into the position without throwing boxes, because of my aircraft experience, but when the sort backs up and the plane leaves we have to spend our time in the trenches. I also have friends that are flying for FedEx. Your advice would be GREATLY appreciated along with anyone else. Double D |
Double D,
There is no secret to the path you are taking. Once you have been employed for two years, you can apply, and as long as you are qualified, and Fedex is interviewing, you WILL get an interview. I would still get with your friends who are crewmembers, and they will know what to do. Have you flown with any of the pilots? If so, you need to get that person to sponsor you, and remember that they will talk to your supervisor at Fedex. |

Interviews
What's the latest word on interviews? Last I heard there were trying to clean out the pool and would probably start interviewing again in Jan '07. Anyone?

i don't even think it is two years. It is usually after 1 year when the job is posted on the internal posting network."That is the wall list that everyone stares at once a week." I believe they go up on Fridays. At least they did when I worked in the hub.
Thanks for the replies. I guess my next problem is figuring out how to stay on the FedEx roles and build my hours. I was thinking of working for one of the regionals when I retire from the Marine Corps but we don't have casual employees at my location. Is it possible to take a leave of absence and still get an interview? |
I was thinking of working for one of the regionals when I retire from the Marine Corps FWIW, I'd take a flying job over a non-flying one, any day. That prior employment with FDX ought to still look good.... |
