I assume a new-hire is responsible for their own housing during training . . . are there any extended-stay hotels or furnished short-term apartments that have good deals for training?

Plenty of crashpads on the boards in the training building.

Some in the AOC behind the new "lockers", too.

Get a hotel for the first couple of days, you should be able to find a crashpad in less than a week.

I think there was also a crashpad thread.

If you know someone here, ask him to copy some info for you.

They just started a "FedEx Crashpads" group on Facebook.

I'm in the 20/21 Feb interview group. If anyone else is in the same group, feel free to message me. I'd like to touch base with fellow interviewees.

Cheers,

Wrap

Default New hire!

Invite Dec 5
Chose Jan 16-17 to interview (stayed at the Courtyard, I suggest it!)
Scheduled for Day One Feb 20!!!
Could not be more excited!
App on file for more than a year but my available date was Feb 1 2017 (moved it a lot then finally just left it alone).

Background - mostly 91, 2 years 135, 4 types, no 121 experience, 4300 TT, TPIC 1600

From the hiring folks, 45 a month until they tell them to stop!
Keep updating, at least once a month if not more (I did weekly, more if I flew a lot).
Good luck!

Congrats!
Compared to others, those seem like really low numbers. Did you have a sponsor or three? Job fair?
I've been updating once a week for nearly two years. Fingers crossed.

Our stats look similar! Congrats!

I interviewed a week after you. How long after the CJO call until the start date email? PM me if you'd rather
