$150,000 second year pay, not bad. It took me many years to match that. What's the typical pay progression at the pax carriers?

Unfortunately every 777 newbie lost their seat last time during excess bids. Ditto the "Purple Nuggets" that were supposedly groomed and selected for international heavy time. I think this time they may be lucky, but we all know how dangerous the phrase ..."..this times its different..." can be.

Does anybody know the qualifications of some of the new hires?

According to the training letter, the first new hire starts 777 ITU on 12 AUG with a projected activation around 10 Oct. (New Employee #'s are 7 digits long starting with a "5")

Sure hope they've actually hired those people starting in those new hire training spots. It seems like a rather large group if you look at all the openings.

Does anyone have a feel as to if attending a job fair like OBAP or WIA seems to help at all to get an interview at FedEx?

It can't hurt. And it may help. I've been to four over the last few years and I have not been called. Fingers crossed! It is a great way to meet with them and talk over your credentials. It was always a very pleasant and informative experience. The FedEx pilots were genuinely helpful, friendly and very easy to talk with. Each fair I attended was an OBAP and I can not say enough positive things about the people affiliated with that organization. They went out of their way to accommodate.

Just my opinion: Try to avoid going on day one of the fair, if able. I've noticed it to be quite more crowded that day, with longer lines. Day two and three had far fewer people. Good luck!
