I'm an internal. I start indoc on June 15th. I was told there are 7 internals and the total class size is 23. I was in flt ops HR today getting a head start on some paperwork and was told classes will be 30 a month for the rest of the year. Off the street hiring will have to happen. I don't know how big any pool was, but it will empty pretty quick at that rate. I also said no thanks to a foreign domicile. It's been a slow process getting the hiring machine spooled up, but I think we are about to see the floodgates open soon. The feeling I get from pilot recruitment and HR is that they are behind the power curve and really needing to play catchup.
Good luck to everybody.

I'm about to change to my 5th primary endorsee...all of the previous ones are now at Delta. I would imagine many of us are in similar situations. I say this so people trying to get hired here and reading this post should ask their FDX connections to consider making them their primary endorser...not sure if it really matters in the end though. One gripe I have though, this will most likely be the last person I make a primary, some of the others didn't even tell me they were hired elsewhere until well into their indoc or not even at all...people like to keep all the doors open I guess.

Sort of like guys bidding a foreign domicile, knowing full well that they were not going to sign the required letter. Just a thought. And I agree, if someone doesn't have the courtesy to let you know their plans, perhaps that's not the kind of guy you'd want to rely on when the hairs get short.

Ok, is anyone actually getting called for interviews off the street yet? I mean, this massive bid comes out requiring 500 guys but I have not seen or heard of a single pilot getting a class date besides dudes that have been in the pool for over two years. So, how do they expect to fill all the vacancies at the bottom of all the seat specific seniority lists? I think it's a farce. 500 in two years! Right!
Someone post something to this thread if you are actually getting any traction at FedEx for an interview AND you came off the street.
