I just thought that internal recommendations meant about zippo nowadays. I sponsored someone years ago, he still hasn't gotten a call, and I don't feel like I can do anything to help him. He is very well qualified. The last I read from management was not to bother them about the people we have sponsored, it now means zero. Is there anything that one can even do to help? Any FedEx pilot want to tell me whom to contact, if there is anyone? I feel pretty helpless in the process here.

Someone posted that the recommendation only comes into play after the applicant has met the standards for and passed the interview. Possible that your friend has something in their profile that is preventing the call.

Maybe you are the reason for no call! �� Just kidding.

) and am definitely not a troublemaker. I don't think my recommendation will hurt, as almost everyone I have recommended (hadn't flown with most) has gotten a call. However, that was many years ago, and I know they don't put much stock in recommendations any more. My other friends got calls very quickly. Maybe there is something in his profile that isn't what they're looking for, but I believe he is well qualified and the company would be lucky to have him.

Quick question about Fedex jumpseating luggage policy:
"Carry-on luggage will be limited to what may be carried by the OJS in one trip up a crew boarding stairs. No TSA prohibited items are allowed."
Can one have a 22" roll aboard bag in one hand, and a regular sized 50 lb bag (checked bag for pax carrier) in the other hand and make one trip upstairs? As Fedex pilots, do you know if this is allowed? Looking at jumpseating Fedex but with an equivalent of a checked bag and a pilot carry on bag. Thoughts / policy?
Thanks!

Then again, I can't speak for the jumpseat folk. I doubt they are that concerned about size, just security.
