Fedex Hiring Mins when hiring resumes...

[K.V.]

Again.. you can treat the up and coming professionals like professionals or you can be unprofessionals and treat them poorly. You get to chose how you will act.

To be treated like a professional this kid needs to first act like a professional. It sounds to me he's acting like an arrogant, know-it-all punk kid, which is exactly what he's deserves to be treated like!

I've got no time to help anyone who doesn't want to be helped.

Besides, it's not just the time and experience requirement this kid seems to be lacking. With arrogance like that he's also falling quite short in personality requirements, which in my opinion is far more important than experience.

You can teach someone to fly an airplane...you can't teach someone to not be an a$$hole.

Does this guy really expect to get hired with 400 hours?

 

[ABXbooger]

Tell him that unless he has in excess of 10,000 hours, 5,000 plus PIC turbine, thousands of that in heavies or several thousand hours military time, the line he will be waiting in will be very, very long.

I think when hiring does start up again, the pool of seriously qualified people will be very deep. I would expect the competitive mins to be somewhere around 7-10K + hours with multiple thousand turbine PIC and int'l heavy time heavily favored. Why not? This is the work they will be doing at Fedex. If I was doing the hiring I would know that there is a long list of exactly these kind of people. I personally know of almost 400 people on the street looking for work with at least 8K in the logbook, thousands of turbine pic, many ex-military, and many of those typed in several transport category jets.

But, there always is that one or two % that slip in...

FedEx will fall all over themselves to hire a 2000TT FA-18 driver. That's a fact.

 

[waka]

I don't think that even Jesus could get him on at FredEx.

That's because Jesus is dead.

 

[Whistlin' Dan]

Yea, I hear ya. It's NOT fair.

I wish we could all just go back to the good old days, when the best airlines to work for would "fall all over themselves" to hire 800TT minorities and the blondes with the biggest t**s.

 

[pilotyip]

That's because Jesus is dead.

no he is not, he came back remember, it was in all the books

 

[BornAgainPagan]

no he is not, he came back remember, it was in all the books

Yeah? Well Santa Claus is in "all the books" too and Captain Crunch is on the cereal boxes.

Says the 2000TT F/A-18 driver hire

 

[Fox-Tree]

Says the 2000TT F/A-18 driver hire

When they're hiring, Fedex also hires plenty of civilians too. My class was 40% civilian while others were 50/50.

Were they 2000TT civilians? No, but whether you and the other whiner want to admit it or not, everyone with common sense knows 2000 hours in an F/A-18 represents significantly more flying experience than an equivalent amount of civilian time.

Every other airline weighs mil time, especially fighter time, heavier than civilian time, THAT'S a fact, Mr. Whiner. After spending hours droning around the world on autopilot, blocked out with the engines shut down waiting for a wheels up time or a gate to park the jet, getting de-iced or just twiddling my thumbs in a conga line, I understand why. So, why should Fedex be any different?

 

[stupidpilot]

Maybe because flying a fighter has nothing to do with flying a big cargo jet, other than they have wings? And the other civilian guys have thousands more hours actually flying big heavy jets in the actual ATC system?

Just a thought mind you.

 

[pilotyip]

Stop that

Hey this is FI, stop dealing in reality

:crying: Ohhhhhhh Nooooooo.....Here we go again. I sense yet another mil vs civ thread. :bawling:

 

[ABXbooger]

2k in any fighter, or any military plane at that over how much time? As far as I know, that kind of time would take a military guy 10+ years at the minimum. Add the fact that they were in the top 10% of any school they went to just to get in the flight program and that they have all been rigorously poked and prodded the entire time in the military, and you have a HR persons dream. Kind of takes all the guess work out of hiring someone, huh?

 

[Dog Driver]

I wise friend of mine gave me a priceless piece of advice years ago on how best deal with such naïve dreamers;

"Don't say a word... otherwise they will not come back tomorrow and make me laugh again."

 

[CUBMAN]

I don't suppose that they would be any fun to fly with. With all the attitude and how great they are. Oh I forgot. This isn't about fun or enjoyment anymore. We're talking about flying for FedEx.

 

[lowspeed]

Jeeze, go buy yourself a sense of humor. You'd think that they were talking about your son on here. We've all struggled in this industry. I think most people are just saying that he should have to pay his dues like everybody else. 20 year olds are supposed to be treated poorly. That's the way it goes, you've gotta earn respect.

The few guys who have treated me diferently bacause of my age are complete morons. Most seem to be upset that a young guys has achieved some sucess at a young age. I am not defending a cocky 23yr old but we all pay our dues and to have some *********************************** middle aged guy pissed off at his own failure give me crap is really not called for.

Easy there Billy Badass!

Before you go spouting off at the mouth, know that I couldn't care less about the obvious bias of FedEx's hiring preference, no matter how justified you think it is. I don't give a $hit if they only hire 200TT guys straight out of a T-34. I just found it humorous how such a benign comment hit a particular nerve with you.

Be careful with your name calling.

no he is not, he came back remember, it was in all the books

:beer:
Ok, I'll give you that one.
