FedEx Poolie Calls, Fourth Thread

[animal house]

Congrats Jumbo Pilot! You must have been posting the same time I was.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah.....What's your class date?

 

[Jumbo Pilot]

Class Date

sorry folks... 28 Aug class date

The date is significant for me.. cause there's a B-Day in my family on that day.. But I forgot to put it in the original message... OOPS :laugh:

Jumbo: Is it your birthday? I got hired on my birthday 4 years ago almost to the day of your class. They realized it about halfway through the day and I got a nice little treat from the "staff" in recognition.

Getting the job was the best Bday present I've had in a very long time.

Congrats on the call!

[Jumbo Pilot]

Yes it is mine.. I asked KD on the phone if she knew the significance of that day as soon as she told me the date.

LOL

I know she knows now.. I guess I'll be ready for whatever happens..

And thanks on the congrats.. It's been a long road!!

Two years to get through and over 6 months in the pool is waaaayyyy too long.

Just happy to be on the other side of this thing now!! For sure.

Congratulations Jumbo Pilot! Good to hear. I'm less than a month in trail and can't wait either. Here's to a high last four of your SSAN! Please keep the rest of us poor slobs abreast (so to speak) of any and all intel you're able to squeeze out of 'em once you cross over.

Total Interviewee's for Jan?

So, 15 Aug and 28 Aug classes both have Jan interviewee's in them. Anybody know off the top of their head the total number that interviewed in Jan? I'm sure it's buried in one of the 3 or 4 Purple Poolie threads.

Looks like 26 will be in class on 28 Aug. Congrats Jumbo Pilot and Happy B-day!

That, my friend, is the million dollar question. I know they interviewed close to 100 in Jan. Not known how many were put into the pool. I'm guessing around 60. Not known how many were sent to the MD-11. I'm guessing 20'ish. By my admittedly crude calculations, There should be one more class to take care of the remaining Jan guys. That's my trig in the sand math anyway........

interview May 24-25th
pool letter July 18

do we think 50 a month for FEDEX new hire training August-October? then back to 24?

It's a great day to be alive!!! Who wants my floaties?

Keep the faith!

It's finally time to dry off!

KD called today!!

I'm in the Aug 28th 727 class.

I interviewed Jan 18/19.

Good luck poolies!
See you in MEM! :beer:

Great job Navyflyer! The 727 is great. Being a panel monkey is a great way to see how things work and get good at pouring scalding hot coffee in turbulence. The right seat is probably the easiest job in the world as long as you can turn on the pitot heat. For those that go straight to the 727 right seat, remember to ask the S/O for for some coffee right about the time all the paper work is showing up, then put your seat all the way back so he can't open up the desk.

Good job to all - hopefully its a big class.

 

[Malter1]

fartknocker, navyflyer, & iflyasaab,

Congratulations, go dry off and have several beers! It's been a long time coming. Thanks for the intel over the past several months. Good to hear they're approaching the end of Jan.

See you in the coffee line!

Aug 28, 727 Memphis Class

Got the call from KD during lunch today.

Aug 28...727 Memphis class

Interviewed Jan 18/19.

OK, now for the egg on my face....after suggesting in my last post that someone just ask KD how far the 727 classes will be spread out, I forgot to ask that question before I hung up the phone.

I guess the first round of beers is definitely on me.

For those still in the pool, I think it's pretty clear a class will be starting every 2 weeks (...though there may be a hiccup near Labor Day, just as there was during the 4th of July holiday)

See you all in Memphis in 20 days!
