FedEx Poolie Calls, Fourth Thread

[Jumbo Pilot]

Senority within a class

The most senior people get to pick what they want

...so I guess that debunks the myth that "FEDEX only hires military pilots"

Negative. the 14 civilian pilots you mentioned are just props that you wont see after your hub tour next week. There are no myths on this site - just like all the thousands of 250 hour hired United pilots out there. Those guys really exist.

class sizes and training dates

Looks like the calls for the last class (25 Sep) included interviews through 9-10 Feb. The next two classes in Oct should be enough to get through rest of Feb and almost complete March (based on approx 50/month through Oct). When calls start to go out for the Oct classes, could someone ask what the rough number of poolies is at right now? Thanks, it just gives me something to do while waiting.

My bad

Before people go berzerk, I think it's closer to 100/year than 100/month.

I do wonder how many folks will bail after we get a contract(over 60 guys).

Yep, my bad....the #s are 100 per year and 200 per year respectfully

Just an additional note. There was an intreview class May 24/25.
4 for the line and 1 corporate. All 4 of us got pool letters and I think the corporate guy got it too. Just thought I'd add that in.

Take care-
Fish

Corporate?

Airfish, I don't understand. What is a corporate interviewie?

It has gotten far to quiet on this site, had to go to the 5th page to find it.

No news/rumors? No more new interview dates and numbers of poolies to add to the list?

I'll bet after the holiday next week the calls will start going out for the first Oct class. I heard through the grape vine that there will be more FO slots in that class than in the 25 Sep class. Can anyone confirm that?

Good Luck Guys!

[airfish]

He was interviewing for a job with FedEx's Corporate Flight Department. Since they have the option of going to the line in 3 years (I think) they do the same interview as the 121 side. So from our group there were 4 added to the pool.

Take care-
Fish
