Default Fed Ex chances?

I'm getting close to the 1000 PIC multi-jet time and am excited about applying. I've got a couple contacts at UPS, but none at Fed Ex. Can anyone answer what the chances are at Fed Ex with no internal contacts? Thanks.

For FedEx you will need 3 contacts, of which, at least 1 must be willing to sponsor you.

No reason not to apply now- they close the window all the time. Get your stuff in regardless of the 1000 PIC.

No contacts? Lots of dudes with recommendations and sponsors with WAY more than 1000 hrs PIC time and experience are in front of you with their apps in. Get yours in and start networking.

IMO, I see brown in your future.................

Does the hiring department do a good job of not turning the hiring process into a popularity contest or is it pretty much that?

One of your recs. or sponsors must have pi$$ed someone off....you should have gotten at least a meet and greet by now.

They try not to but you got to remember...IT'S MEMPHIS, TN. The south is still very much alive and the ol school boys network is always in affect.

If you meet the min's than you got a shot but your sponsor and LOR can make the difference between winning the Power Ball lottery or the church raffle...know what I mean.
