No more metering Pros but they can apply after a two year freeze (no seniority #). It's a way to an interview. But they still have to meet quals, pass the interview (all phases) just as everyone else.

Any idea as to the professional profile of those getting called for interviews? Total hours, aircraft type, graduate degrees?

I've been here a while at FDX and some time working in Training. I'm pretty sure that there has never been a provision whereby Pros were guaranteed an interview and I am certain that Pros have not been given seniority numbers until they were in Indoc day 1/ hour 1.

My point here is simple..... They are FedEx employees and (after whatever freeze they have...) when they apply for another job within the company (pilot, elevator operator, etc.) their applications are given priority over non-FedEx folks. That is in the People Manual which HR uses to ensure that FDX policies are adhered to in every personnel action.

From the SCP as stated in the Captain's Course 2 weeks ago...
The competative resume has:
-4500+ hrs (fedex minimums met)
-a 4 year degreee from a meaningful college/university with a good GPA (grad school is good but not rewarded with more points)
-a leadership profile (explained as advancing through the ranks, ie flight instructing to commuter F/O to CA, military 3P to AC, section lead to division lead, etc)...Natops IP's, Stan Eval, LCA's do earn extra consideration (not quantified).
-He also encouraged sponsor's to call or email him with questions regarding their candidate's qualifications and where they are in the stack...

They are pulling another 100 or so resume's to rack and stack very soon...if they haven't already...and they expect to keep that pace up throught the end of the year.

Good luck bro's!

I recieved this same email yesterday along with a study outline. Has anyone else recieved it, and/or know what the timeframe would be to possibly getting called? Has anyone gone through the initial phase process that could shed light on the process?
Thanks

I'm here just lurking in amazement at some of the post! I am still laughing at what JETJOK saying about the PRO's should be held to a higher standard during the interview process.

From what has been passed to me, I need to do the 2 years and then do a JCA, and if I am given the opportunity to interview then I will go through the same process as someone off the street.

Glad to be here! Now to go practice some profiles...Oh, and teach and support!

I haven't heard of them sending this email out in the past. Maybe it's something new? At least you'll have a head start on studying for the test.

Does the initial interview consist of only a written exam, with successful applicants then invited back for another visit for sim ride, etc.?

Or are all interview tasks accomplished during one visit to MEM?

Thanks!

I think it is a reaction to all of the test bust last year.

Not any more the new CP told me that internals had to be competitive with the numbers they were getting off the street. They had to be selected by the new process to be in top 25% just like some guy off the street. In other words no more meet the mins and get an interview for internals.
