Would you expand this thought for some of us duller sticks in the pile? Is probation based on hours versus a calendar period? Pros and cons?

Probation is based on your time to complete the training course in your assigned/chosen airplane.

So if you take longer to get through training, you will extend your probation.

The good news is that 2nd year pay clock starts the month of Basic Indoc.

Approx. 1 year, but I did not update regularly until several months ago. I did about 4 or 5 updates in the span of about 1 week and then got the invite, FWIW.

I only really know one person at FedEx, he was my sim partner from SWA. He was my lone reference, but I think he helped get my foot in the door. He has already been awarded 757 captain at FedEx and activates in 2018.

Although not the duke- I'll reply as well. I had an app on file for 4 years and started updating monthly about 4 months prior to the call to interview- zero internal references.

Thanks guys.. Update a little more frequently then...what'll hurt..

I heard directly from the source that otherwise qualified apps (when pulled) get dumped if they haven't been updated in 45 days. Of course this could change, but I would update at least once a month.

I know for a fact they look at update frequency. I would do it a certain day of the week every week.

Question about Pilot Credentials in general and FedEx specifically (I tried a few different forum search keywords with no luck...apologies if this is out there and I couldn't find it):

Where/how are professional development-type training and education items listed? Things like AF Safety school, professional military education like SOS, formal flight training upgrades, etc? Airline Apps makes it obvious, Pilot Credentials not so much. Thanks in advance for the help!
