First Tally

Thanks to Sluggo and Purp Nug for the class date info.

As of 1346 Eastern:

If you include the "unknown" and "unconfirmed" there are about 82 known swimmers in the pool today from Jan 17/18 to Apr 18/19. XJGuy thinks, and I agree, there were earlier interview dates in Jan. (3/4??) but no one has chimed in yet. I believe there were also some more spread through Jan - Apr.

Hopefully people will continue to post and we can fill in the rest of the gaps. Here's what I have so far:

Date - Pool letter (MD11, A300 or July 31 727 class) = remaining total swimmers (who reported it)

January

17/18 – 3 (0) = 3 known in pool, could be more (Fartknocker)
24/25 – 12 interviewed unknown number in pool (XJGuy)
25/26 – 9 (0) = 9 (XJGuy)
30/31 – 5 (1) = 4 (FeelinMinnesota)

February

2/3 – 2 (0) = 2 (Talon737)
6/7 – 6 (1) = 5 (A’che)
8/9 – 7 (1) = 6 (QuietFlight)
14/15 – 3 (1) = 2 (Malter1)
20/21 – 6 (3) = 3 could be 6 more (rdy4to)

March

1/2 – 9 (3) = 6 (jets96) [This was his first post ever. Way to help out when needed!!!]
15/16 – 5 (1) = 4 plus 6 more unconfirmed (Don’tBHate’n)
29-30 – 10 (1) = 9 (wmss)

April

18/19 - 6 (1) = 5 (SilentBob)

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EDIT/AMEND/ADD TO/DISCREDIT MY WORK/MATH. THE POINT IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHEN WE GO TO CLASS AND WHETHER OR NOT I'LL HOLD MD11 CAPTAIN BEFORE MY 40th BIRTHDAY!!! :beer:

April 18/19:
12 sims - 11 passed
Can't figure out how many got pool letters (I know of 6) - one starting MD-11 soon.

Sorry so sketchy - I'll keep trying.
 
Interviewed Jan 10-11... at least 7 passed Sim Check and at least 3 pool letters & at least 2 still swimming in pool.. Forgive me for the "sketchyness"... it's been so damn long you know.. lol :D
 
Feb 22/23 - 6 did the AM sim/5 passed...5 interviewed/4 passed. All in pool (as far as I know, I will try and confirm this today)

Anybody for a game of Marco Polo?

Sluggo, Thanks for the info.

If you overlay the MOAB's training letter results over those class sizes you come up with the following vacancies per class...

Systems Class Date, FO New Hires, SO New Hires
16 Aug, 0, 16
23 Aug, 0, 14
13 Sep, 3, 16
20 Sep, 8, 14
11 Oct, 8, 16
18 Oct, 9, 14
8 Nov, 10, 16
15 Nov, 10, 14
6 Dec, 2, 16
13 Dec, 0, 14
3 Jan, 0, 16
10 Jan, 0, 14
31 Jan, 0, 16
7 Feb, 3, 14

Those would also align with the last memo saying 727 SO classes to start in August with FO openings in September.

Given the data above, it looks like the folks who start class on 31 Jul will flow into the 727 systems class which begins on 16 Aug.

Does anyone know if this class is already full or are folks still getting calls this week from KD for 31 Jul?

Anyone getting called by KD with an offer for a "first-week in Aug" class date?

...looks like the next classs would start on or about Wed, 9 Aug (if the two-week indoc rule holds true) then flow into the 23 Aug 727 systems class.

Anyone know how long the 727 SO and/or FO courses are? ...8 wks??

Initially, it looked like KD was only calling folks about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks prior to the class start date, but that last round of calls seemed to go out almost a month prior....that would be sweet!

Interviewed 5/6 April with 4 others. All passed the sim. One was tapped for the MD-11 and I'm in the pool. Don't know about the other 3.

At least one guy got called yesterday for the 31 Jul class. It wasn't me. :(

Yes, they are about 8 weeks, including basic indoc.

12 total, 11 passed sim
I believe all 11 received pool letters.
I know 2 have been called for MD-11 training.
Only thing I've done is made sure my battery is charged on my phone and pee-peed in a bottle again.

Interviewed 2-3 May. 6/6 in sim, 5/6 got pool letters. No class dates for any of us yet.

When was the last group interviewed? I know we had at least one after us.

Interviewed Apr 12/13. 5 out of 5 passed sim. Don't know status of other 4.

Got the call to update drug test today. Sure was nice to receive first contact since pool letter!

Hopefully we all get a training date soon!
 
Of those who say they interviewed with 4, 5 or 6 others, was there a morning or afternoon group of the same size or did some interview groups consist of 6 for the whole two day process?

We were split into 2 groups and I have no clue what the results were from the other 5 interviewees.

Good luck to all, see you soon in Memphis.

feb 22/23 am session- 4 hired, 1 in A/B SFS training, 1 UA, 1 pee-pee update and 1 (me) nothing but static....so far!

Any info from the new class that started on Monday?

Past...

Not sure if you got an answer yet. Eleven new hires. Ten went to the MD-11 in ANC and one took the Airbus in Subic. Last seniority number was 4632.
In case anyone is wondering why we had seniority #'s in the 4700's a few months ago...the company drops all the retirees from the previous year and redoes the list every July.

Feb 14/15 Five showed up in the AM for the sim and there were only 5 of us there on day 2. No PM group either day.

Second Tally. Thanks for all of the updates. Keep 'em coming.

If these are taking up too much space, let me know.

Pool numbers now range from 83 known poolies to as many as 108 poolies including unconfirmed. I'll update this again next week. If someone else wants to do it in the meantime, go for it.

30-31 Jan, there was not an afternoon group on either day, 5 - 1(MD) = 4 poolies.
 
Jan 17/18 - there were two groups of six for those days. My group: 4/6 are in the pool.

I am 99% sure that week, and the two weeks after, FedEx interviewed 12/day for three days (36/week total). But, I can't see confirmation on this board or see numbers that match that. I just remember talking to HR about how busy they were. Could've sworn the numbers were mentioned in threads on this board around Feb/Mar timeframe(?). There was lots of chat here among people awaiting the good news or bad news (when they interviewed, how many, who got news yet).
