Default Hiring Pool

According to emails sent to a couple applicants who interviewed in September, Purple is officially back to having a hiring pool.

We want to congratulate you again on successfully
completing the FedEx Express Crewmember interview
process! As we are approaching Fed Ex's peak season, we are
reducing the size and number of Basic Indoctrination {BI)
classes. Currently, we do not have a Bl class to offer you, you
are in our hiring "Pool" and we look forward to getting you
started.

We will stay in touch with you to keep you updated and hope
your interest in working at FedEx continues and you are able
to join our team. We encourage you to make your
employment decisions based on what you believe is best for
you, your family, and your career. We will let you know when
Bl classes are scheduled; Bl classes are ftlled in the order
applicants were interviewed. You will be scheduled for class
before applicants who successfully complete the interview
process after you.

That was garbage. I was fortunate enough to get the first class date I was available for brown (didn’t accept), but many are not. It gives no predictability or stability to applicants. Although unfortunate that hiring is slowing, FedEx is doing it right w this style pool.

RST said today “Recent poolies that were told they could expect a class in January are now being told to expect a class date next summer.”

Meanwhile every other major is hiring like crazy. This is a decent place, but absolutely not worth waiting until summer for. Keep interviewing folks, and get some numbers behind you. Seems like a good time to get hired at UAL/DAL/AMR.

Both Delta and United have pressed the pause button on hiring at least once in the last two years (I think United didn’t hire for about 5 months). Doesn’t strike me as all that crazy that we do the same every once in a while.

As a FDX shareholder, the performance of FDX vs UAL and DAL are vastly different in the last two years. I feel this slow down means much more at FDX given the atmospherics surrounding it and the consistently poor quarterly returns. It may not be #1 choice for many given the short term fluctuations. I hope it rebounds soon. Fred is a smart guy. Time will tell.

Thank you for being a shareholder. Alas, and as you know economic conditions affect FedEx vastly different than UAL or any Legacy. Those that want to be here shouldn't make that decision based on "short term fluctuations."
