When was his ACP interview?

Do you know when he did his ACP interview? Thanks...

 

[BonesF15]

Kim D told me she was sceduling 30 interviews per month at least through Nov.

Great Question. Does anyone know how much time between the ACP meeting or interview board meeting and interview call??

 

[Los1]

It took my bud @ 5 weeks

 

[Osmosis]

It took me 2 1/2 months from my ACP meeting to my actual interview. That timing was pretty consistent with everyone else who interviewed with me. From what they were saying, they are a bit backed up right now, so if you had your ACP meet and haven't heard anything yet, I'd remain patient. Good luck to all of you!

I talked to a guy on the crew bus the other night. He was a new hire and his chief pilot told him there is a 6 month back log on SO trying to get their buds interviews. He said his chief pilot said if you can go through another chief pilot like the MD11 or Airbus that they don't have as many perspective canidates and your nominee would be looked at faster. This was second hand from a guy who had just got done talking to his SO chief pilot.

How're the contract negotiations coming along? If a T/A is reached this summer, will hiring perhaps pick up even more?

I did my ACP interview in early March at LAX and still have not heard anything? Anyone else chat with Joe?

 

[FedEx1]

I don't think Joe, the ACP for LAX/ANC, sits in in the interview selection boards. I think it is just MEM ACP's. SO I am not sure how much weight that will have, since he isn't there to vouch for you. You might want to visit MEM, too, to cover all bases. Anyone out there get an interview with a face to face with Joe only?

 

[burg]

I saw the so acp the third week in March and am still paitiently waiting for a call.

Good luck.

If the UPS contract negotiations are any indications it will be quite a while. I think this summer would be extremely optomistic.

A new contract certainly isn't a guarantee of more new hires. If we as a pilot group agree to work rule changes that allow for more productivity there will be less need for new pilots and vice versa. It will all come down to the specifics of the contract that is agreed upon.

Best of luck to everyone getting hired here. There is no time like the present.

I had an interview with JL (CP) in January and an interview with Steve (ACP) in March and nothing yet. I only have 3 recs. I heard the more the better....like 8+. I talked to a couple of guys who had class dates for last month and they had 10 or more flying recs

 

[walden]

I had my ACP meeting in MEM on 22 April. I'm in my 5th week and haven't heard anything yet. That said, be patient (I'm doing my best). I really don't expect anything until mid to late summer. Best of luck to all who are waiting to get calls.

I brought in a bud to talk with Joe up in ANC, and he has since had his interview and has a class date in hand.

When did he talk w/ Joe? How many other recs did he have?
Thanks, and congrats to him!!!

 

[active_herk]

He talked with Joe in mid Feb, interviewed in early May and has a class date of June. I'm not sure how many other recs he had, but since we both know some of the same FedEx folks from our reserve unit, I imagine he had at least a few.

I was told by my sponsor that his ACP told him I got a "thumbs up" at the interview board that met the first week of May, and that I was going on to the next phase of the process. Does anyone know if that means an interview? His ACP wouldn't come out and say so.

Check PM please.

Received word on Tuesday, 31 May, from a fellow squadron mate that hires and interviews will slow over the next several months. His sponsor talked to an ACP which stated the number of new hires in the pipeline placed training resources at near max capacity. My squadron mate and I met with the ACP during the last week of April and were told to expect a call for the interview in July to August. That has since changed to a 2 - 3 month wait time from June 1st. So just a tad bit slower until the training pipeline deficates!

 

[Hdawg]

Fwiw

FWIW I interviewed late April got the call five weeks later and start June 13th. Two classes that I know are June 13th and 20th. A group is interviewing on 13/14th....
