It varies wildly. I got word within 2 days. My buddy just before me was in the 2-3 weeks or more range.

Much like getting a call for an interview, no one seems to have any idea at all why.

 

In some of the gouges, people receive a call in the evening of day 2 (last day of the interview) with the good/bad news. Is this no longer the case?

 

Correct.

No rhyme nor reason that I’ve heard, but anywhere between 48 hours and 2.5 weeks. (In 2018.) Not sure how long it’s been since they offered any time on the second day of interview. Probably more than a year ago?

 

That has changed in the past year or so.

 

That’s correct. Last year the procedure changed. They used to offer the CJO or notify to the negative shortly after the interview (usually that afternoon/evening). After notification they would run the background checks and whatever else they needed, then get back with you about a class date. Now the procedure is to run all the checks (dot their i’s and cross their t’s, so to speak) before notifying you of the offer/non offer. Sometimes that happens quickly, sometimes background checks can take a few weeks (for instance, international ties like residences, spouses, finances, etc).

Interesting. Do they contact current employers before offering the CJO/job, too? If so, that might get interesting for us corporate guys and how we manage the resignation.

 

Not to my knowledge. But granted, my knowledge is extremely limited. I’ve seen posts on threads asking about employer contact and as far as I’ve seen, those who have asked HR have been told they don’t. If there’s something of concern that they’d like to contact them about, I’m sure they have that right?

That's fair. Thanks.

 

Hi folks! I have read all 299 pages of this thread, some funny, mostly educational... But I have a few basic questions and a few 'strange' questions.

Me: 25+ year FedEx employee. Worked in various positions from handler to professional. Bachelors (3.8 GPA).

Got into flying late, currently 1100 hoursTT, about 100 flying a 208. I have a job offer flying air ambulance nights/weekends as soon as I get my multi, made that call today.

Post #1995 and a few since then have talked about the "internal" path. At the start of this thread, it seemed like a good path, but some like FrankTheTank have said that FedEx does NOT do the internal path anymore. So????? My internal docs say we do hire from within, but that most internal guys don't have the right time.

If it still exists, might be worth it to work nights while doing my day job (I can pull this off, manager does not care, only said I can't work for a competitor or our feeder companies). If it is dead, might be better to just find a better flying job than middle of the night ambulance flights.

Also I see "TPIC".... I assume that is Turbine instead of Twin? Is any of my 208 time going to count or only multi?

Now for the strange: Having been at FX for two plus decades (will be three by the time I get the hours) is there actually any benefit other than (maybe) getting an interview and doing well on the "How well do you know FX?" questions? I assume since there is a contract, I start over at "0" for seniority, retirement, etc?

 

Mr. TheTank is correct...unfortunately there is no internal path/program (though the Purple Runway program should be up and running with the feeders very soon if not already). They love hiring previous FedEx employees though. And, there are several pilots that worked in other areas of FedEx. I can only assume it looks very favorably on a resume.

Correcto. There is no "twin" time...only single or multi-engine, per se. From my understanding, and I know only as much as the next guy, all time "counts", but only flight time in something heavier than 12,500lbs counts towards the minimums.

I wasn't asked a single question about the company in my interview.

You are added to the seniority list on your first day of basic indoc. You'd start at the bottom, but you'll get to keep your very senior looking employee number!
