So the plot thickens...

Spouse has an invite, but I didn't get one... I'll ask next week at OBAP and report back.



Very excited to gain more insight on Purple, meet other attendees, and explore Memphis (assuming we're both confirmed)!

It's starting to look like it really was a first come first serve in some way. Anybody agree?

I'm not sure I agree. I signed up almost immediately and haven't received an invitation yet, but ..... Does anyone know if all of the invitations have been sent out yet?

I wonder if there was some sort of pre screening that went into the invitation process.

Any thoughts?

I feel horrible now that I said the Air Force, Navy and Riddle grads were Tier 1 candidates. I just read somewhere on the World Wide Web that you guys are now too good! What just happened? Are they only interested in UMaine Presque Isle music majors now? Nothing makes sense anymore.

I know someone who has similar stats to you who got told by a FedEx chief that he had too much flight time. Stupid I know. The only job I know of where you get penalized for having too much experience.

Sent app in at 8:01 Got the invite.

I remember seeing the number 400 somewhere. And a small group for the hub tour on the 2nd. Hard to say if that many were sitting at the computer at 0800. The window closed later that day if I recall. Could be a function of ISPs and app routing if there were say 5-600 entries at 8:01. Or they screened them, who knows. Like everything else in the hiring part of this business it doesn't always make sense.

Congrats to all who got one so far.

I guess the question to ask is if there is anyone who didn't register promptly at 8 and still got an invite. Everyone I've seen that got one was on right when it opened.

Yes, but there are several of us who registered right at 8 that did not get the invite, so they definitely screened them and not first come first serve. But seeing a lot of people and their qualifications who also registered at 8 as to why they didn't get the invite is beyond me.

FYI - I was right at 0800, and just got my invite a little after 1600 Memphis time, so i think the picture is still settling out.

No hard data, not accusing, either, but I've just got this feeling that FedEx is favoring folks who don't have guard or reserve commitments to work around.
