The guy just wants to talk to a FedEx pilot and offered to pay for lunch in the process for his time, who cares.

If I still lived up there I would take him up on the offer, but I would probably pay for the grub since I probably get paid more.

Maybe I’m just paranoid after watching all the videos for years and answering the questions. I just think it’s a thin line to walk. Discussing hiring with a buddy over lunch is different that agreeing to meet with a Stranger to discuss hiring in exchange for lunch.

HR reps show up to events with paid admission all the time.

I was thinking the same thing and saw kinda the same numbers. On track to hire around 30% of its list, what could a new hire expect fo seniority progression with those numbers for a 30 yr career?

Wonder how comparisons stack as to seniority progression vs delta and aa

Europe Base

Goodevening Gentleman,
Any chance to get a job in FedEx for non Us citizen/non green card holder?
I'd love to fly for FedEx and be based in Cologne/Germany.
I'm next to move to left seat in a major freight company in Europe but t&c are far away to those in FedEx.
Currently operating 75/76, former Navy jets and instructor.
I flew 3 years in the Us (USN and USMC).
Any idea how i could get an Authorization to work for an American company?
Regards

Unless you were a foreign exchange pilot, how did you fly jets for our Navy? You have to be a US Citizen in order to be an Officer, and have to be an Officer in order to be a Military pilot??

You could marry an American citizen. That would be far easier than the other options.
