Fedex MOAB is out

[LaidOffAgain]

First two weeks of June. Pete D. would sh!t you not. An extremely good guy.

Ok first 2 weeks of June, but will it be first in first out of the pool, or preferential hiring? I have heard both. Anyone Anyone? thx

I was just hoping that they (upper mgt) were going to move the schedule up on him, that's all. First two weeks of June it is...

I'm hearing first half of Jun as well. The biggest question for us Poolie-types is will it be based on a first in, first out philosophy with small exceptions? Or, is it a free-for-all once established in the pool. Since I was early in, I'm hoping for the former..........

Ok, here is the big IF: If they are going to hire into the Boeing as normal, I have my dibs on 2 classes in June, first on the 5th and the second on the 12th. There will be 12 - 16 people in each class, maybe 24. Then 3 weeks off and the next group of similar size classes starting on the 3rd or 10th of July. Rinse and repeat.

This is just a guess of course. IF they are hiring into the back seat, I predict it will be more or less a first in first out pool. There are always exceptions of course, but I think they usually try to run it that way.

Now, IF they are hiring directly into the MD-11, I think it will be more of a best qualified out of the pool. The pool will probably drain within 2-3 months anyway so hopefully nobody will have to wait too much longer.

These are just SWAGs of mine, I have no inside info. We won't know the answers until the MOAB closes and the brain trust gets a chance to make their decisions on where the new hires will go.

Either way, I think a lot of the poolies will be hitting the Gucci building before the summer ends.

LOL :beer:

FJ,

Just curious, actually hopeful is more like it, but with the big break in training is there any way that they could have a normal class? Even if it is all SOs?

Keeping fingers crossed, and skipping a heartbeat everytime the phone rings,

...But I've never been known as an optimist, either.

A sentiment that comes in right handy in a variety of situations--especially when you root for the M's.:bawling:

You know you love me--and I am getting more thirsty every day your training date is delayed!:beer:

I'll play. First two weeks of June make perfect sense. June 5th for the first class.

As for straight to the right seat of the -11, I would guess neither in Memphis nor LAX. There are only 99 seats available in MEM and 21 in LAX. Now if it was Alaska, I would say that is very likely. Classes starting right away? Not so much, unless they move everyone listed for classes in June & July (May is practically locked in and would require contractual manuevering to move everyone in class). I think the training slots are taken until mid-July.

If there is a lot of movement out of the F/O slot of the -11 creating another 100 or so seats in Mem on the secondary, then I would say there could potential for new hires straight to the right seat, but the start date would be late summer.

My guess, until the bid is completed and implemented, there would not be any hiring taking place. But, alas, I am not the decision maker.

Wishing everyone luck!

I did my M & G July 2005. I had my interview Jan. 2006. Been in the pool since early Feb. Update your profile before M & G. Have all of your stuff current. Answer a few general questions. Try to make a good impression, because the ACP has a big part in your future! Good luck!

It can be a long wait. I did my grip n grin in Feburary of 2005. Didn't get called for an interview until October, a full 10 month wait.

So be patient.

M & G in Sept 05, called for interview Jan 06, interviewed Feb 06, good news Apr 06.

The M & G is less formal than an interview but you should still treat it just the same. Make sure your suit fits, shine your shoes, get your teeth cleaned, etc. Update your profile and resume a couple of days prior. Be ready for some interview type questions. Good Luck!!

 

[Ex_Indy_Flyer]

Its tough being patient I know! M&G in ANC Jan. 05, waited 13 months for a call in Feb. 06, interviewed Mar. 06, got the GOOD letter 3 weeks 6 days later. Now I'm all smiles, worth the wait.

I bet it will be a few weeks after the MOAB closes May 1 before we start hearing about classes.

TSDog: I am certainly not in the know. My guess is that most of the ANC MD11 FO slots in this bid will get taken by folks already here. That would mean that the new hires this year would most likely go to the back of the Boeing, or maybe even the right seat of the Boeing. They have done that over the past couple of years when the right seat got short. So where ever there are holes they will fill them with the new hires.

Again, this is just my guess, but I think that folks will take the ANC slots and the new hires this year will go to the back or right seat of the Boeing. There isn't that much open in the back, and from what I hear even less in the right, but as the newer FOs and SOs start leaving for their new seats from this bid they will fill them with the new hires. Just my guess.

I think there WILL be "normal" SO classes.

Can't wait to see you on the line!
