Ah, OK. Thanks!

 

With all that being said they also said at WIA that the 1k TPIC requirement was staying

Thanks again. That certainly works for me!

 

And they said at a job fair 4 years ago that they were "going to hire 500 pilots in the next year".

They haven't even hired that many since then.

 

Hi all, Is there anyone on here that has done an FDA (HK would be best). I have a few questions about being over there, military duty, and the like. Please PM me.

I believe there was a guy who was a Hurricane Hunter (53 WRS) that commuted from HKG, but that unit was pretty flexible about availability. The biggest issue I've heard about from my friends there (and I go over in June/July) is that the flipping of the circadian rhythm is pretty brutal coming back stateside. I used to fly F-15s but would typically put a 36 hour bubble around my last hub turn flight before I would fly an instructional sortie...and that was stateside. I would roll in the next day for non-flying duties, etc but not to the jet. I don't know what your experience will be, but my sim partner (coming in from hkg) still claimed to feel whacked even a week into our training. If you want to do both jobs I see no reason you cannot, but it will take a bit more days off on both ends to get in synch. And while it may be legal under USERRA, getting hired and dropping a ton of mil leave (on probation) might not be the best move as an at will employee. The sea-lawyers and chat-board sages will say "they can't touch you", and legally they are correct. However, fighting for your job without ALPA as a new hire on first year pay...doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me. Besides--if you do go to HKG...the trips are cool and if you are flying with me as captain as a new hire you won't be buying dinner or beers...

 

What are the typical competitive qualifications to get an interview?

 

Hello all,

Maybe I missed it, but once PilotCredentials has all sections completed with the green checkmark, is the application subitted? I looked around on FedEx Express' website and didn't see a job posting for FO that I could apply for. Maybe it's already taken down? Thanks!

 

It is submitted once all sections are green check-marked and once you click published under the profile visibility section (vice draft mode).

 

Ah yup knew I missed something. Thanks for the tip!
