I frequent a bar that boasts "Free Beer Tomorrow", everyday.

Seriously, I personally know guys who have had their app in for well over a year with no word as of yet. Rumor is that they have somewhere in the neighborhood of 14-15,000 apps to choose from, and the first chosen will be from highly pushed sponsors. After the first of the new year the normal, experienced applicants should come to the top of the bunch.

Bottom line is that massive retirements within the next 1-2 years should at least give a qualified app a chance.

Good Luck

I am the Walrus.......

A friend of a friend (but it is true!) who interviewed/got hired in early May, is going to class in Dec. for MEM SO.

Having put around 70 through Indoc since June, with particular guys they wanted for ANC, HKG, etc., they might get through the rest of the pool pretty fast. Good luck!

My question is why does everything have to be so secretive. Just tell us, we have X number of training slots for overseas before we start with MEM based slots and you are #Y in the pool of Z. So based on about ## per indoc class per month we will call you ????. It is kind of hard for us military types planning. Guard, you don't want to pick up any long orders in case you get called, but you have to feed the Fam. Active, you don't know when to make your separation date so you can stay employed until the time comes. Just my thoughts. I know this is minuscule compared to the people who haven't been called, but hay i wouldn't be a crew dog if i didn't complain.

If they announce when Memphis opens up, then they would never fill the overseas spots.

I know if I was in the pool and offered a Foreign Domicile, however knew that Memphis would open up just a short period after... I would be inclined to just wait it out. But without knowing about Memphis, my thoughts would change and I would get the jump on my FedEx career earlier. Perhaps! >.>

From my understanding they contacted everyone in the pool to see if they would go to HKG/CGN (ANC guys were asked specifically). Guys that jumped at it got a seniority number quicker.

JHJr: It WOULD be nice if they told folks what the game plan was. I'm sure it has changed multiple times. Just a precursor to the way airlines are run. Better get used to it. :D
