One of the reasons I asked the questions I did was to get a few data points about this topic. It's just my impression you need a sponsor, but allegedly it's possible to not have one. But I haven't heard of anyone outside MD-11 guys getting called without one (yet)...

As someone said recently...if your want to win the lotto you've got to buy a ticket!
Spending a few hours to fill out the Profile is certainly worth the chance to get called! I'm not sure why that is even debatable.

Until about a week ago the website said that new applications would be accepted early in May. That is no longer on the website and obviously that never happened. Any good poop on the why and when it might reopen? I was one of the few who couldn't get their previous app updated because of an Uncle Sam all expense paid vacation to Bagram(Deployed the whole application window time). I have had an application on file for the last 4-5 years. I'm assuming if we didn't get our previous application revalidated(if that's the right word) it was deleted and we have to start over? And before anyone mentions it, yes, i know I should always be ready and have a current FE ready to go. Unfortunately, I had such a short notice on the deployment, it was impossible. I have it now. Thanks for any info/help.

June is the start of FedEx fiscal year. Hiring throughout the company was put on freeze. I suspect everything will start back up after earnings are released.

As for when it might re-open, I don't have any intel, but it seems like this rumored "hiring boom" that was supposed to happen hasn't gone anywhere thus far.
I don't know about that. 60 newhires in the last 4 1/2 months, 2 classes scheduled for this month, and 240 vacancies for the next year or so. Sounds like you're a "glass half-empty" type of guy.

Moondog, would you mind sharing what kind of background these folks have? I keep hearing that only those with MD-11 time are getting called. Just wondering if they have started to call those without it.
Thanks.
