I have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer.

How is B/I training? Length of day? What building? Attire? What to bring to first day?

B/I is about 7 days. The days usually go from 0800 LCL - 1600 LCL. It is usually in Module D, the MD-11 building, (the same one you interviewed in). Attire is suit and tie the first day, then business casual, which means collared shirt and slacks. Bring logbooks, pilot certificates, medical, radio operators license, passport, drivers license, dependent's SSN and DOB.

That's all I can think of right now. FedEx will send you an info packet with your invite to class after they call you to confirm a date. Everything is explained in the packet.

Good luck! :nuts:

Anyone know dates for the Nov and Dec classes? Just wondering if KD shed any light on that subject.

Thanks.

Hi all, I interviewed with 2 groups of 6 on April 25&26. We were the first group not to do the SBI. 5 from AM group passed sim and all 6 from PM group passed sim. I only know of 1 of the 11 that got MD11 in ANC. So that means 10 of us who interviewed on April 25&26 are still in the pool. Another group of interviews started on April 26&27. I have kept in touch with one of the guys from April 26&27 group and he said none of them got ANC MD11. Also, has anyone else not been called to update the drug test? I have not updated mine. Should I be concerned?

 

[noreaster]

Drug tests are only good for 120 days...i think. That puts you a month overdue. Are you sure all 10 of you on those dates got the pool letter?

NE

Noreaster,

Actually, I've only confirmed 9 have got the pool letter. Am I overdue, or just don't need it yet since I probably wont be in class until December?

 

[JDriver]

I have not been called to update the drug test. I interviewed June 13/14. I think we will have to do it once we are called up for training.

 

[Pool is Cool]

Anyone else not updated a drug test since the original interview?

I wouldn't sweat it if others who interviewed with you haven't been called either.

If they have, you may want to have your sponsor call KD and ensure they have your correct contact #s.

They are still going in strict FIFO order for 727 slots and don't want to call guys too early and have to order and pay for the drug tests multiple times..

Patience is definitely a virtue while treading in the FEDEX pool....don't worry you'll be here very soon.

Congrats.

DLax85,
That's what worries me, the 3 others that I am in contact with from my interview group have been called to update their drug tests.

I have not been called to update the drug test. I interviewed June 13/14. I think we will have to do it once we are called up for training.

Interviewed 2/3 May and none of us (5) have been called to update the piss test.

For what it's worth I received the call to update the drug test about 2 weeks prior to getting the call for a class. Interview Feb 22, Update late Aug, Class call early Sep. Class start Oct 2.

Update on 2 Oct

Quick update before 30 Oct class calls go out. Thanks for all the info! I highlighted the new information in red. If SilentBob and FlyFedEx have any more data on their groups, it would take care of some of the unconfirmed. Best of luck to all. Noone in our interview group has been called to update the drug test....would definitely test positive for FI "crack habit" :erm: Good luck to all. Congrats to LeadSolo and 5 who got letters for the 5/6 Sep interviw group!

Just discovered that "Airline Pilot Central" also has a FedEx poolie thread going. Did not learn much, except that I recognized one of the posts as a guy from my interview group, so Geauxfly you can update Apr 12/13 as 2 confirmed in the pool. Thanks for riding herd on the kluged list! Best of luck to all that the phone starts ringing now!!

 

[SilentBob]

I've fired out some emails but no response. I'll try again. The one guy in out Apr 18/19 group that was organized and rounded up all the emails was called to WB training around the end of July and I lost contact with him - and the list as well. But you can confirm that one of the five poolies went to training already.

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.

Also congrats to the Oct 2 class. Anyone know when the Nov and Dec classes might start?

SB

 

[Falconjet]

They typically go week on, week on, 3 weeks off and then week on, week on again.

So I would guess that the "Nov" classes will be Oct 30th and Nov 20th and the Dec class would actually start on Nov 27th.

Those are just swags, we'll see what happens.

Good luck to those in the process and in the pool. Keep updating your online profiles until you start class.

[SilentBob]

Thanks FJ,

That seems to fit with what they have been doing so far this fall - just wondered if the holidays would throw much of a kink in that rythm.

I probably just need to step away from the FI crack pipe . . .

My sponsor confirmed 22 started today in the Oct 2 class...

Interviewed 29/30 March
Leshawn called today to update drug test for 2nd time.
Tried to get some info out of Leshawn, but said I needed to talk to Kim who wasn't in the office. Good Luck!
