The data sync feature worked a little differently (and correctly) over at the other website for DAL & UAL.

The global function for PilotCredentials is not worth your time and money. I individually updated each too every month, and it was like a part time job. But I knew my data was correct.
OK, FedEx is the only place I intend to apply from PC now anyway, so I'll just use their portal for my app. Thanks to all for the information. Maybe they will refund my global fee also...

Default Growth, seniority

Say I got hired at FDX in about 2 years, just shy of 40 years old. What do you guys on property think my options for advancement in the company would be like over that time period? Would I be missing out on a lot of options and retire very junior in the company or would I be doing just fine?

If you want advancement go to AA.

You’ll be just fine. NB CA if you want “potentially” by 45, WB CA if you want “potentially” before 50, WB FO “potentiality” out of indoc, “definitely” within 2 years and 23 years (should you choose to go to 65) at the company gives you way more than I’ll ever have.
I used those quotation marks because that info is based on today. In this business, everything could change tomorrow. But all in all, you’ll be perfectly fine. Can’t talk to the other airlines progressions because I don’t work there, but I haven’t heard of any with significantly better upgrade or seniority projections.

I was hired at 36, 2 years ago. Held WB FO from day one and at first system bid with company I held NB CAPT after a year (if I had bid for captain I’d still be waiting for a training slot).
Retirements are only picking up from here- so I’d say the outlook is good for progression over your career.

Default Second chance

Awhile back I thought I read somewhere that people are getting a second chance at the interview. I unfortunately didn’t make it past day 1 and am wondering if the second chance folks made it to day 2 the first time or are like me and didn’t. Also, have there been anymore second attempters than the few mentioned a few months back?

Thanks!

Default LORs

Is there a specific number of Letter of Recommendations (LORs) FedEx likes to see in Pilot Credentials before they review a profile?

Zero....not joking. More candidates without recommendations are being interviewed than those with them. Upwards of a 4-1 ratio some in the know say.
