Quick question... Does FedEx provided a hotel during initial new hire training? Got the job offer earlier in the month and just curious if I need to find a crashpad or other arrangements for TBD class date. I know most airlines do provide single occupancy hotel but I have seen conflicting info about FedEx.

No hotel unless you train offsite, i.e. not Memphis. I think just the Indy 767 requires a few days offsite right now and no others are training offsite.

If you train in ANC you get a hotel and per diem. The company did put out some training was going to shift up there but I don't remember if they specified initial or recurrent.

It's great in ANC in the summer but it snowed 3" here yesterday.

That is, if you actually want the job. Then you figure out what it takes.

So what is Albie's company that everyone keeps mentioning?

Good. Been there-done, done that, but could probably use a refresher.
Thanks.

Do you know of any selection criteria requirements, for us non-KC-10/C-17/F-18 background guys?
I'm a new hire (DC-10 Type and experience), but not selected on the MD.
Trying to research options for aircraft selection. Thank you for your input.

All part of the desperation to fill the flying schedule I suspect. But there is no clear code that I've cracked. If I find something solid out in training, I'll throw it on here.
