Default How much notice does FedEx give you?

If anyone could help me plan I would appreciate it. I am currently in the hiring pool at FedEx. I was wondering how much notice is usually given before a class starts? From what I gather it seems to be 3-4 weeks. Thanks for your help.

Three to four weeks is about right in the currently hiring climate. However, subject to change on a moments notice as I was hired a few years ago with only 7 days notice.

Congratulations! FWIW, my letter arrived on Saturday (the 2nd) for a class that started on Tuesday morning (the 6th). It's good to be flexable!!

FBH, I was thinking about your 'tenque surr' record for most 'tenque surr's recieved in a specific layover time. I started counting and ran into a technicality that needs to be addressed: do 'goooo ebening surr's, 'hallo surr's, 'gooob morning surr's' or any other 'surr's' count or must it be 'tenque surr' verbatim? Please advise.

Jetstar, congrats bro. Welcome. My last day at the regionals was my 3rd day of new-hire ground at FedEx. Didn't get reimbursed for sick or vacation if I didn't give them 2 weeks notice, i.e. I had less than 2 weeks notice from Fred. If your dilemma is similar, wanting to give notice to your current employer, I'd talk to your chief and try to arrange a rolling two-weeks notice deal. (Dream on, I know)

Whatever your reason, keep this in mind. A guy I interviewed with didn't come to our class because of short notice and took a class 2 months later. He's still in the back of the 27 and I'm on the 11 going on a year now. Not that life isn't great in any seat at a succesfull airline BUT, consider the future financial impications by delaying class. 2 class dates can make a world of difference in seniority, training, and the almighty hoonyacker.

I told Beverley that I could show with one day notice. She called me to be in class the next day, and it was day 3 of indoc.

No commute. I chase what's-her-name around the bedroom a lot more these days. I still can't catch her, though. She's little but she still scares me and she can still out run me. Surr.
