FedEx Poolie Calls, Fourth Thread

[Ninerfan]

DLax85,

My buddy's phones are working, five bars on the cell....voicemail is fully operational. Anyone else waiting that interviewed 11/12 Jan?

 

[Talon737]

Wow! Only two in the pool from 2/3 Feb. Were there two groups that day?

I believe that there was only one group that did the sim on Feb 2 and interview on Feb 3.

We had five show up for the sim and all five passed.

Of the five only 2 got the pool letters and both are still swimming with the phones nearby.

Ninerfan,
How about having him call HR and explain that he may be having phone trouble, and would like to give a third number to contact, just in case? That way, HR may say, "We've been trying to reach you....yadda, yadda, yadda"

Niner: Your buddy should have his sponsor make a call if he is pretty sure that he has been bypassed. I think it is unlikely, but it is possible. Also, while they may use a FIFO system, they do tweak it sometimes due to various reasons (even when only hiring into the back seat of the 72), so there is certainly a chance that a poolie could get passed by a class or two.

KD called me a couple of years ago asking how she could get in touch with a guy I sponsored because she couldn't get ahold of him. Turns out he and his family had evacuated the gulf coast due to a hurricane and hadn't been home in a while. I happened to have his new cell phone number and was able to get ahold of him. They are pretty dilligent about contacting folks in the pool.

I probably wouldn't call KD if I was in the pool, but I don't think it would hurt for the sponsor to call to see where their candidate stands in the process.

If it were me though, I would continue to update my online profile and make sure I had current contact numbers in there rather than calling KD directly. That is just me.

Thanks fellas!!

Thanks for all the congrats! Looks like we have about half of the 18/19 guys accounted for with calls for class. Anyone have any intel on the other half?

Congrats!

Congrats TSD! It's good to see you Jan guys drying off. Now let's get some towels ready for the Feb bunch so us Mar swimmers can work our way to the shallow end!

At least we can get the chlorine concentration in the pool back to normal now that NavyFlyer has climbed out. My eyes were starting to burn.

Congrats to all, hope to see you guys in Memphis real soon.

Nicely done!!! Congrats to everyone. Hopefully this process keeps trucking along at a nice pace to upcoming interviewees don't have to endure such torture....

Anyone here anymore about upcoming #'s for classes. I'm hearing 30ish and 50ish and then I've even heard one person say up to 70 in an upcoming class.

 

[navyflyer]

Nevermind the chlorine, watch out for that Baby Ruth bar in the deep-end!

See you all around campus!

Any more Jans? If not...Febs, you are up to bat. Keep it rolling.

 

[FedExFlyer]

VIPS posted 18 newbies started today if that helps you any...........

 

[Rusty Nail]

Jan 24th.......still waiting.

 

[FeelinMinnesota]

Jan 30th........also still waiting.

 

[Phaedrus]

Started today. Class make-up: 17 total; 12 USAF, 3 USN, 2 USMC. 16 MD/ANC and 1 Bus/Subic. 14 727 SOs to start tomorrow.
The 727 FOs are supposed to start around the 28th.
Rumor mill: 757 and 737 are being looked at to replace 727. Paris might some day be a domicile.
Fact: I feel like I've hit the lotto!
