You'll come to Memphis, Day one take a test. Day two if you get past day one use to be an SBI, sim ride and personal interview.

Best to get in touch with Emerald Coast Consulting! If you want to work at FedEx, they are the best gouge. Spend the money on the consulting, get some time booked in a sim and search on gouge.

Best of Luck!

I second the Emerald Coast endorsement. Money well spent.

I think the sim ride is going away.

I think it's unanimous. INVESTING in an interview prep by Emerald Coast and if necessary the sim prep with pay off with INTEREST. (Yes I'm using caps)

Never said it was not. Just stating the sim ride is going away so it may not be the same schedule.

For what it's worth, in my First Officer Course (yes, there's one), Billy Mac said the DC-10 sim was going away since the 727 is retired. He said it was expensive to keep the sim operating only to screen new hires for actual hand flying skills.

Don't shoot the messenger if they're still sending new hires to the sim.

Because 1 trip on your dime to Memphis just isn't enough… Hoping they will consolidate the event in a single day, or at least trip. Delta and everyone else seem to manage to do it in one trip, so I'd expect what we do to morph into something similar to what Delta does.

That's why I said "if necessary".
