[beardo35]

REF the 25 Sep class: When Kim called, that was the one thing I remembered to ask...20 was the number she gave me for class size

Class Sizes

Beardo, thanks for the info. Here are the classes of 727 training so far from info gathered on this board.

15 Aug -- 14 (not sure of composition)
28 Aug -- 26 (10 FO/16 FE)
11 Sep -- ?? (all FE)
25 Sep -- 20 (mix of FO/FE)

Appreciate eveyone's help in updating this.....geauxfly

 

[thunderworm]

i second the request for info on the guys who got called for interviews. when the m&g was and how much notice did they get.

 

[smnwxc78]

Anyone know the October training dates?

Gouge from First Day 28 Aug New Hire Class

OK Guys...here's some gouge/notes from our first day of indoc for the 28 Aug new hire class:

- 25 guys total
- 14 civilian
- 11 military

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

- 9 FO slots
- 16 SO slots

...will be handed out via seniority (SSN)...we should know by next week what slots we got

...Training Dept is expecting to train 50 new hires in Sep & Oct, and then taper off over the holiday season to about 30 per month and continue at 30 per month thru 2007

...about 40 more new hire FO slots after our class...then concentration on 727 SOs...thus, next few classes could still have a mix of FOs and SOs

...with our class FEDEX now has 4,697 pilots

...retirements are expected to avg approx 100 per month for next 10 yrs, and then increase to 200 per month

Hope this helpful in some way to all still in the pool and those waiting for that interview or meet & greet.

Aloha

...retirements are expected to avg approx 100 per month for next 10 yrs, and then increase to 200 per month


Aloha

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).

 

[Quiet Flight]

Purpled beat me to it.

I thought maybe my new math was busted 'cause I came up with 12000 retirements in 10 years. I'd be thrilled to be the top MD11 Captain in 4.5 years!!!

Oh well. It was fun for a second.

Just bustin' chops here. Have fun in class. See you soon. (Maybe)

 

[JDriver]

Is "0" the low or high social security number for senority purposes.

Specifically, would someone be at an advantage if their last four was 0123 or 9876?

 

[capt_zman]

9876 good, 0123 equals caboose and 727 S/O

 

[Newpilot2b]

If one is in the front of the class can they still choose SO over FO, or do they just get awarded it? thankyou

 

[Jumbo Pilot]

Senority within a class

The most senior people get to pick what they want

 

[skykid]

...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.

 

[geauxfly]

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

 

[airfish]

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

 

[animal house]

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!

:beer:

[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

Thanks Fish, I made the changes.

Missing 28 Feb/ 1 Mar interview group..............

 

[wannaBrich]

Missing 28 Feb/ 1 Mar interview group..............

Anybody have numbers for 28 Feb group?

 

[JDriver]

The info for my interview group is incorrect. I and the other 3 poolies interviewed on 13/14 June. None of us have been called out of the pool yet.

 

[cjj]

I'm a fellow poolie (March 29/30 interview) who's been watching these threads and wanted to pass some info along as well.

1st - Thanks to everyone who has posted and kept the info flowing.
2nd - I know there was a group of 12 on March 19/20 of which 1 went MD-11 leaving 11 unknowns. I didn't see that date on the list.
3rd - I spoke to KD today and here's what she said in a nutshell. Based on the numbers she was given she expects mid April 06 interviews to be called by the end of the year and the pool to be drained by April 07. For me (March 29/30 2006) end of October at the earliest, but probably by mid November.

This is pretty much as I expected based on the info in this thread.

And in case you are wondering, she called to get my updated FE written and medical. I had faxed it to them back in May and she said it just didn't get updated in her system, no big deal.

Things I didn't push though were number of poolies remaining, numbers and sizes of classes, and next drug test. Sorry.

 

[animal house]

Thanks Malter, JDriver.

Thanks for all the info....still wonder why they are doing interviews now when there are sufficient poolies to fill classes until next April?? This information given today conflicts with all the other reports of "everyone being in training by Christmas." What has changed?

Wahooo!!!

Got the call for an Oct. 2 class!!! Yay!!! Didn't ask any questions because I'm in the office today and the connection was bad. Sorry to those looking for more info. Oh, I interviewed 9/20-21.

Congratulations! It looks from your earlier posts that the interview was actually 2/20-21, right? I expect I won't know what day it is either, when/if they finally call me for a class.

Opps! :0 Yes, you're right 2/20-21. Heck, I don't even know what today is.

 

[geauxfly]

Help

Looks like the calls are going out for the Oct 2nd class. Congrats to all that get the call in the next few days!!! By the poolie threads gathered here, it appears that this should close out the Feb interviewees and maybe move into the first week of March (big month).

Could you help a brother out? Any information would be appreciated....how many people in the class? makeup of the class (FE/FO)? how many people left in the pool? Thanks again for all the info!:beer:
