Fedex Hiring Mins when hiring resumes...

[pilotyip]

Hey remember "boycapt" who used to post here, hired at Fedex at age 23 one year out of ERAU. Thought it was because of his skill and desire, and not a fluke of luck and timing.

Rez is right. Just because as younger pilots we (or some of us) were treated poorly or even unfairly, which I certainly was, does not mean that we in turn should return the same level of disrespect. That is not honorable or respectable. Try to set the younger ones straight with doses of realism and let them figure the rest out for themselves.

Realism?

Is realism like reality? we all know that reality has no place on FI, posting reality is lible to get called bad names, like management, anti-union, or against the brotherhood whatever that is.

Oh I tried for the first 15 minutes, but it soon became apparent that I didn't know what I was talking about. Much like politics! Anyway, since when does a 40 year old know more than a 23 year old?

You're a 40-year old posting on FI about this??? Have the Regionals institutionalized our nation's pilot's to this extreme???

Get some grapes, man.

Put this egg to nest.

Well, I am sure this kid got a participation trophy at every level, except now when reality sets in!

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.

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.
