Does anyone know how many have been hired in the last year or so?

 

Looks like about 146 (based on the 800,000# employee numbers on the bottom of the master seniority list) since we started hiring again.

 

In CY 11 = 151, plus 1 resignation (First SenNo - 4439)

As of today, CY 12 = 21 on property. (Last SenNo - 4610)

Others have been hired, just not started class yet.

 

Yep, some internal hires I missed.

 

Just checked on my pilotcredentials app after the change and it is a little messed up. Had to re-input all employment and contact info. Flight hours are a little different as well. When I checked my references the employee numbers wouldn't save (went blank after saving). After several attempts some random numbers appeared. Anyone else have this issue or a solution?

 

Other issues with the pilotcredentials site: Will not take a date for FAA class 1 medical. Will not allow you to check both FAA class 1 and Military flight physical boxes. Does not have seperate places to upload resumes (I had one targeted at FedEx and one targeted at Southwest. No way to ensure the potential employer won't open the wrong one. I uploaded a generic resume instead). Kind of disapointed with piloltcredentials' "exciting" new changes.

 

Same issues... It also dropped my 3 FedEx referrals leaving only the SWA referrals. Suppose you can switch them based on who's hiring now.

 

Wow, now there's some irony. FedEx and Southwest under the same umbrella for their hiring database. C'mon FedEx, you're better than this! Maybe UPS should join in.

Southwest - let's interview 50 guys today and pick the two that are the "coolest" to our female HR staff. They're the experts because they were obviously the prom queen. :roll eyes: We need a new database because we wore out the existing list of 10000 in a year. And we interviewed all of them.

FedEx - let's interview 100 and we will hire 100. We don't pull punches, and we remain as objective as we can with a simulator and scenario based problem at our interview. But we still have 4000 qualified pilots left camped next to the phone.

UPS - Let's hire 150 this year and furlough them asap. And we made a billion in profit.

FedEx or bust my bros. The rest don't compare.

 

Concur, same issues. I emailed pilotcredentials but haven't heard anything back...

 

Same issues. I had one resume targeting SWA and the other targeting FedEx. Generic resume now uploaded. The change also dropped all three SWA references and kept the FedEx ones. To me, it's almost a requirement to have separate reference sections per airline. I don't have a good answer on which references to load. Most everyone places references that are flying with the targeted carrier. I have an email into pilotcredentials as well.

It's missing the new Qualifications tab as well.
