FedEx Pilots 1/19/2006
We employ more than 4,500 of the most skilled pilots in the world, and provide them with the best technology and equipment, ensuring that they can always do their job safely. Our fleet of over 380 jets are equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation, and, because we are constantly adding routes and services, our pilots have more frequent opportunities for seat progression. We offer our pilots something others can't: stability and a history of reliable growth.

Oh I found a mistake. They forgot to mention that you need to know at least a dozen pilots that already work there.

wonder why they are advertising "in public" for pilots when supposedly they have 10,000 resumes on file, of which 5000 have internal recs

???

Very good point. Kinda gives people false hopes. Oh well.

Probably to satisfy the EEOC, which is why they left out "military experience strongly preferred"! Hope I'm wrong on the latter.

Don't forget the memo last year that said furloughed airline types were also unwelcome.

But I hope you're right.

Job? What Job?

I think the phrase "rated but not related" comes to mind!

Of course, they are not going to mention that little fact. Why, that's negative publicity.....uke:

Yes, folks it's true and you would ALL be wasting your time and energies applying unless......you intimately know at least 2 folks there already who are willing to bat for you in a big way. Don't know anybody there, don't apply, simple as that!

Another, similar carrier, called their resume stacking exercise a "golden referral" program. I though they were talking about a breed of dog...

Whatever "memo" you're talking about must have been more than a year ago. I'm furloughed UAL and there were 3 others plus an AA guy in my new hire class. 2 UAL were former military and the other 2 were pure civilian. Most new hire class seem to have at least 20-30% furloughed. BTW, 40% of my class was pure civilian.

Job? What job?

Ata boy Adler...funny how the wheat separates from the chaff. I've been at purple for 8 years. It took me over 3yrs to get hired once I jettison'd the Nav. I had more than the required number of rec's, 2 silver bullets, and it still took time and determination. Anyone who lets these negative posts stop them from applying is sealing their fate. The expansion plans at Fedex are enormous and you never know what can happen until you try.
