Any suggestions for a plain jane regional FO? 4300TT 50TPIC (yeah not much)... most of that 121 FO time in an RJ. No checkride failures (ever), volunteer work with my church and ALPA, 2 internal recs, possibly a third coming up... willing to accept an FDA. Not sure what else I can do to set me apart, other than upgrade and get that 1000TPIC. App has been in for just a couple months once the window opened and they dropped the TPIC requirement.
upgrade at my regional is long but Im not far away. I went in last week and took a hub tour and met with a recruiter (KD) for a few mins. After the tour and meeting several folks, FedEx has become my number one choice. Everything was impressive to me and the vibe I received from all the people I met was very positive. I feel personally that it would be a good fit. My feeling is that I am still a ways off from an interview invite, I'll just keep plugging away and waiting on the call. I came away from Memphis really stoked on the company and I really hope to join you all one day.

Surprising.

General Science & knowledge Blah Blah Blah
Does any buggy know if FDX still does the 7 part general knowledge battery for part of the interview?
I know that was popular back in 2007 when they were looking for IQ, but I've seen a transition to more EQ and XQ based factors that most companies measure for now....
The General test had stuff like, science, vocabulary ect...
