Poutine is a dish originating from the Canadian province of Quebec consisting of French fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy.

Everyone who started last Monday all got 757s to MEM. It's interesting to note that every single one of them could hold the right seat in either the 767 or 777 in MEM on the latest practice bid.

Also, it looks like they only managed to staff the 777 to the 90% point. The other thing of note is with all the 767s they're planning on getting, throughput in the 767 training pipeline looks pretty anemic (3-4 crews per month??)

FedEx Hiring
 

How often do they run new hire classes per month. I’ve heard 1 or 2. Typically, how many new hires per class?

Thanks

5 Feb class was 20. I'm not sure if there's another due to start this month. It doesn't seem like there has been a truly regular pattern. I believe the most classes we've had per month is two in the last few years. Forecast is for 450 new hires in 2018. I'd say they better do at least 2 classes of 15-20 per month if they're going to have a shot to make that target.

That was the original idea leading up to the class, but that isn’t how it panned out. My info is a couple of days old, but the folks from that class are taking part in the system bid.

I interviewed late last year but did not make it past day 2. The rejection email didnt mention anything about reapplying/re-interviewing again. Am I SOL or do I still stand a chance? Thanks.

What they got awarded on day one of indoc and what they can hold on 18-01 are two completely different things. Back up a page and you'll see I mentioned every single person in that class could hold 767 or 777 on the latest practice bid. However, they'll all still spend quite a while in the right seat of the 757 even if they bid off tomorrow based on the training throughput.

Only at Fedex is the lowly 757 looked down upon.:)

Well it’s not as fast the 727:)

Hey everyone! I'm a newcomer to this thread, but am looking for a few opinions, as Fedex is my dream carrier(disregard the username, I was in High School).. Anyways, I am starting in the new Ameriflight Cadet program, in which they pay for all of my training, if I guarantee 3 years with them afterwards. Including the hours instructing (1200), this would get me around 3400hrs of Total flight time, with 2200hrs of guaranteed Multi-Turbine PIC time in the 1900. My question is, do you know of any guys that go right to Fedex after 135 turboprop flying? Or would I more than likely have to go somewhere else, such as Atlas, to get some actual turbofan time? It's worth noting that the Cadet program also has flow-through agreements with Frontier, Allegiant, and Omni to get some turbofan time if needed, but I prefer cargo flying personally.
