FedEx Poolie Calls, Fourth Thread

[SilentBob]

I've fired out some emails but no response. I'll try again. The one guy in out Apr 18/19 group that was organized and rounded up all the emails was called to WB training around the end of July and I lost contact with him - and the list as well. But you can confirm that one of the five poolies went to training already.

Seems to me that they should be interviewing more than just a small trickle if they are going to add a Dec class. At this rate, the Sep interviewees might be in before the holidays if not right after. Everything sounds like good news to me.

Also congrats to the Oct 2 class. Anyone know when the Nov and Dec classes might start?

They typically go week on, week on, 3 weeks off and then week on, week on again.

So I would guess that the "Nov" classes will be Oct 30th and Nov 20th and the Dec class would actually start on Nov 27th.

Those are just swags, we'll see what happens.

Good luck to those in the process and in the pool. Keep updating your online profiles until you start class.

Thanks FJ,

That seems to fit with what they have been doing so far this fall - just wondered if the holidays would throw much of a kink in that rythm.

I probably just need to step away from the FI crack pipe . . .

Leshawn called today to update drug test for 2nd time.
Tried to get some info out of Leshawn, but said I needed to talk to Kim who wasn't in the office. Good Luck!

For what it's worth....JL, the FEDEX Systems Pilot, told us during Indoc in Aug that the pool swelled too big this past spring/summer and they know it was difficult for some folks to tread water for so long. He mentioned they probably won't run such a large pool again and it may revert back to the old way, where KD calls you with the good news that you passed the interview and then immediately offers you a class date within 4-6 weeks.

I think the future existence/size of the pool will also depend on the holes left after the next bid --- i.e. the "Purple Nuggets" handpicked out of the pool this summer went to fill unbid MD-11 FO slots in ANC. I think they liked the opportunity to handpick those guys vs going simple FIFO for the 727 slots.

No word on the next bid, but some rumors say it could be as early Spring 2007.

More calls for 30 Oct class

Talked to another one of my reservist buds who interviewed on 19/20 Mar and he got the call this afternoon. If anyone else gets called, please ask how many are going to be in the class.....figuring 22-25 if other intel is correct.

CONGRATS BigLar22!!!! Do you know how many of the guys in your group got called for this class? I know some of them got called for the 23 Oct class. Thanks for the info.

Hey wait.....is this the shallow end?????? Good luck to all.

Higher math makes my head hurt, but you can probably figure this out:
