Any idea of what weight attending a job fair (OBAP) may have for someone chasing the dream at FedEx? I talked to John (HR) and Rob (CP) at the career fair hoping to get my app noticed. Any idea of what happens (if anything) when you attend a conference?

Does it help to put letters of rec in the portion of the app where you upload your resume or should you just stick to FedEx pilot only recommendations in the fedex rec part of the app? Thanks!

Sorry to be a downer but we are just line folks.. None of us really know. We hear things and pass it on but we don't definatively have the answers y'all are looking for.. Good luck.
Maybe asks the folks at the job fairs..

I think I agree ... you might be able to turn that into a positive. "I worked hard to get my degree around my work and family responsibilities because I knew I wanted to be a FedEx pilot!" It might help more f you had REALLY good grades.
I can't tell you how many of my fellow Navy Flight School classmates were P.E. and music majors ... but, they had a degree from an accredited university!
It looks like the industry is in a hiring mode again. Hang in there! It sure beats working for a living!*?
