Thanks for the correction. Strange but good.

 

My take on this is sort of different than the other guys. Instead of applying now for FedEx, If I were you, I'd use that $50 and take your bride out for a reasonably nice (although fairly inexpensive) meal. Then go home and have her chase you around the bedroom for a few hours.

Although you can probably apply and not have the computer kick your application out, why bother? You will not be looked at until you have the requisites, and by then, you might not want to work here anyway. You can always apply as you approach our minimum requirements, but you should understand that you'll be in competition with guys with many more hours, type ratings, international experiences, etc, etc. That's not to say you can't be hired with the minimum required requirements, but (I believe) that if you are fortunate enough to actually have that happen, it will be a testament to you sponsors creditability. So if you want to get involved with FedEx at this time, I'd recommend trying to establish a relationship with someone on the "inside", like one of our pilots.

Good luck with your chosen career.

 

Good point. I could be wrong, and I'm sure somebody that knows will correct me. But if/when you do get an interview I thought that length of time on file as well as update frequency was looked at. Not that it would actually give a yah or nay vote for an applicant, but I thought I heard of it being mentioned.

Or just take the 50$ and put it into a fund to help pay for your first dicorce.

 

Sorry, but I hope your statement is false. As well, it really makes no sense. Why would a company use the number of times a candidate has updated his resume as a deciding factor in bringing the guy in for an interview. The company is, or at least, should be, looking for the best candidates, not the ones who are the most active on an internet web site. Wouldn't you agree?

 

Does anyone know what the average amount of time apps are on file before people can expect a call? I've got almost 8.5 years in as well as 8000TT, 6000 turbine PIC, 3200 jet PIC.

 

Any recs on file and a sponsor? That is the key at FDX.

 

3 recs and a sponser. What am I doing wrong?

 

UPS doesn't allow online application unless you meet the current requirements. All done by computer. In the days of paper it was good gouge.
As soon as you meet mins at UPS 800-241-2357, apply. Good luck
Facts from a really junior Capt

 

I think JetBlue (and perhaps Frontier) looked at the longevity of the app as well as frequency of updates.

 

Do you know of any situation that could've caused someone to put a negative in for you? That will kill it and it can be very hard for your sponsor to fix it unless he has a good rapport with someone in management. It is hard for him to even find out that there is a negative, but he needs to try.
