FedEx Poolie Calls, Fourth Thread

[cjj]

Ditto what wmss said. Same interview dates etc.

 

[groggy]

maybe calls this week for that 30 Oct. class???? let us hope.

 

[BigLar22]

Got the call from KD. Classs date 10/30. Mar 15/16 interview. Updated p test last week.

...Seems to me that they should be interviewing more than just a small trickle if they are going to add a Dec class. At this rate, the Sep interviewees might be in before the holidays if not right after. Everything sounds like good news to me....

SB

For what it's worth....JL, the FEDEX Systems Pilot, told us during Indoc in Aug that the pool swelled too big this past spring/summer and they know it was difficult for some folks to tread water for so long. He mentioned they probably won't run such a large pool again and it may revert back to the old way, where KD calls you with the good news that you passed the interview and then immediately offers you a class date within 4-6 weeks.

I think the future existence/size of the pool will also depend on the holes left after the next bid --- i.e. the "Purple Nuggets" handpicked out of the pool this summer went to fill unbid MD-11 FO slots in ANC. I think they liked the opportunity to handpick those guys vs going simple FIFO for the 727 slots.

No word on the next bid, but some rumors say it could be as early Spring 2007.

More calls for 30 Oct class

Talked to another one of my reservist buds who interviewed on 19/20 Mar and he got the call this afternoon. If anyone else gets called, please ask how many are going to be in the class.....figuring 22-25 if other intel is correct.

CONGRATS BigLar22!!!! Do you know how many of the guys in your group got called for this class? I know some of them got called for the 23 Oct class. Thanks for the info.

Hey wait.....is this the shallow end?????? Good luck to all.

Higher math makes my head hurt, but you can probably figure this out:

Also, I got called for a piss test (round 3) today. Didn't get any solid answers to my questions, so no good gouge to share.

Information

To answer some of the questions....they have at least called through some of the 19/20 Mar interviewees. Based on the info gathered, I would guess calls will continue today for the rest of that day and 29/30 Mar (cjj and wmss should hopefully hear something). Outside shot for your boy on 11 Apr LaidOff but not out of the question based on last week's calls.

As far as interviews go, Congrats to YankeeAirPirate, LeadSolo and the other 4 in your group!! Water's fine. Did anyone hear about the 11 Sep interviewee group? Besides the mention above about interviews later this month, the other forum had a post from a captain who said his bud was asked to help conduct interviews for a week in Nov. Sounds like good news for those awaiting interviews and Meet/Greets.

Called this morning to update drug test again. Asked about possible job offer and was told in about a month. Interviewed 11/12 APR.

Thanks!

Is the SBI gone for good or did they bring it back?

 

[YankeeAirPirate]

Sbi

There was no SBI but it is rumoured to be coming back in a new & improved form, at least that was what we were told. No mention of when that might happen.

Hopefully not for a while!

Is the interview still consistent with the gouge on Aviationinterviews.com

 

[YankeeAirPirate]

Gouge

I don't know what is on that site. I am sure if others have posted there over a period of time, it should be accurate. From my limited understanding of the interview, the process hasn't changed much in a long time. Best of luck.

 

[SilentBob]

I know of interviews happening Oct 30 and Nov 8. Now RING phone! And Groggy . . . PULL UP!!!! (sweet avatar).

Class Date in Nov

One of my buds on property heard it was going to start on the 27th. Starting at the anticipated 3 weeks after the Oct 30th class would have been Thanksgiving week. He also confirmed 2 classes in December.

Let's keep the info flowing!

 

[geauxfly]

Calls???

This was an odd set of calls.....I don't think they got through the rest of Mar even though the numbers suggest it should have happened. Looks like some of the people who deferred the 23 Oct class took this one. OR....not everyone is reading FI like a crack-starved idiot (me for example) and posting their info. The only thing I know for sure is we are almost at the end of March. If anyone has any more info, please post. Guesses have the next 2 classes being 27 Nov and 4 Dec so there probably won't be any class calls for a few weeks.
Geaux Tigers!!!
