Airline Pilot Central Forums - FedEx Interviews and Class Dates

No, there are 8 slots. Women and minorities are pilots too. From the tone of your post you'll probably be happy to know that current class is 8 white males...

I think the last class was 6 white males as well.

As previously stated GREAT post Albie !!!

After FedEx, Albie helped me with the DAL interview, so that may negate the 15% guys at FedEx.....scoring Ms Miss finalist notwithstanding ! ;)

Can retired FedEx pilots act as a sponsor and if so, do they carry the same weight?

Any input?

I am not connected, but it is my impression that the Active FedEx Pilot Sponsor doesn't carry the same weight as it once did.

I have filled out 2 Sponsor/Recommendations in the last 2 years and unfortunately neither of them have received an invite. Hope it isn't me. :confused:

It's not just you.

This is not the company we used to work for. Think Delta in the nineties.

I know the advertised min's are 1000 turbine pic but I was told you really need jet time. I don't think turbo-prop time gets you in the door any more?

I know a guy who only had light(er) twin turboprop PIC time (B1900) and got hired. He was also a chief pilot at a 135 outfit in AK so that was probably what really set him apart.
