Completed interview process in August and still awaiting a class offer. There's a class of 15 or so on the 12th of Dec. Back to checking my in box...!
 
Wow I thought they were having classes throughout the summer. How long do you guys have to wait for class? How big do they normally keep their pool?
 
Not to sure how deep the pool is. I was conditionally offered in August and I beleive that the 3 others hired with me were pretty close to being the last interviewees for the year. As a poolie, you have the option to pass on a foreign domicile with the penalty of not getting a seniority number. I have not been offered anything as of right now.

It sounds like the retirement papers are being submitted at an "above mandatory" rate which will hopefully spur more classes after peak. Again, that is just from what I've heard, maybe a current FedEx'er could verify.
 
Do they go down a list in the order of when you were interviewed and given the conditional offer or can a person who interviewed after you did be call and offer a class before you.
 
It's not nesccesarily a first in, first out pool. It seems that they like pilots that have oceanic time, time in heavies or a type in the MD-11 to got to ANC right away. This could allow them to pull from the pool out of "seniority order".
 
So that means that an individual could be left in the pool for months/years while new interviewies could get a class and seniority number.
 
Just spoke to one my sponsors who has firsthand, new hire info.......she said I should be in class in Jan with more options available......Jan will be 6mos for me in the pool.......

I suppose it could happen. I think that FedEx has more integrity than to let an interviewee be in "pool purgatory" tho.
 
Well at least there's some hope around the conner. Congrats to both of you, hope you poolies get a seniority number sooner than later. I'm sure you guys can't wait.
 
Just glanced at the training letter, looks like we have a class starting second week of December. 10 or so to the back of the 727 and 5 to wide body. MD11 ANC/A300 HKG.

Good luck folks.
It's better than you've heard.
 
Let's say someone gets a class date and is assinged 727 panel. How long is the seat lock? How long before someone could bid off the panel? What are the "typical" junior seats that a junior 727 FE could bid and likely get as a next seat? What's the likelihood of getting US domestic flying like A300/310 FO, 757 FO, 727 FO or domestic MD10 FO?

Congrats to anyone hired! You guys/gals are lucky!!!!!!
