Enthusiastically opened it. Oh boy.......this is going to take a day at least. I was hoping to just update some hours but dont want to hit submit on a 98% correct app.

I was hoping it'd migrate with my email, as it noted, but alas no.

Can we hope for a 2.0 next week?

I received another email this morning that apologizes for the wrong email address and several other issues. Definitely seems like this thing was rolled out way early.

I haven’t seen anything on the new site or FedEx emails specifically referencing “pilot credentials”, only mentioning “the previous website”. I wonder if there was a falling out of sorts and they were rushed into transitioning early.

I am unable to change the , "Lived to date" of my current address. Or change my current address to a past address. Therefore, I am not sure how to add a new address.

It seems like the only way to delete an entry near the top is to delete every single entry below. There is only one delete button and it is located on the oldest or last entry in your history.

Any ideas how to work around this?



I wonder if FedEx is planning on pulling any applications anytime soon? I can't imagine there is one applicant with a technically correct application at this point.

Wouldn't worry about it. It's peak season.

Airlines pay those application vendors tens of thousands a month... likely just a cost savings project that gives someone a bonus.

Do they want 10 years of work history only or is it better to go all the way back from first aviation job?

I wonder the same...not to date my self but I will be removing quality experience from my application if I cut it off at 10 years.

The directions do say 10 years though....

I suppose the flight time section captures that experience.

So I hope the interface that FedEx sees is better than the one I can see or check my answers with. When I go to the "print answers" section the flight hours table is pretty much illegible and any answers on the questionnaire portion that are longer than about a sentence are cutoff with a "..." after them - both in portrait and landscape formats. Makes it impossible to semi-easily check my work and progress.

Questions for the group:
- I uploaded my resume, but when I try to view it nothing comes up but an empty screen, anyone else have this issue? Is it corrupt and I need to push another or is it just the interface?
- Do I need to "resubmit" at the review section everytime I change anything? Is there an updated date/time anywhere like PC had?
- My hours seem screwed up in the "print answers" section but they are correct in the input section. Also, the sorties box isn't annotated corrected. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks.

The guidance from the interview prep and application review services for other airlines that have used the "10 years" verbiage in their applications was to go all the way back to your first job.

In the absence of other guidance, this is probably still a valid vector.

From what I've seen FedEx says last 10 years vs airlinesapps that has the verbiage "complete work history".
