FedEx

Good to hear that they are still actively hiring...I've been updating my app every week since the window opened about a year ago. Still hoping and waiting!!

The requirement discriminates against Americans who have been forced to go overseas for a job and who now want to return. But i'd gladly wear a clown suit if that will get me hired.

Security clearance for the US Mail? I call BS on that one. Nobody else requires this nonsense to handle the mail on their flights. Im still an American and where I have lived and worked should have no bearing on that.

I take it we won't be seeing you around the AOC then?

Figures the FDX prima donnas seem to be the only ones defending such a ridiculous requirement, yet nobody can explain why other airlines do not require it, nor does there seem to be any legal necessity for it or law in place that requires it.

I neither defend nor criticise it. If you are interested in working here you will comply with it. Simple as that. The requirement has been published on our pilot hiring page for about 10 years.

The USPS imposed this on FDX. Before the postal contract it was not in place. I would guess that other airlines do not require it because their level of interaction with the USPS is infintesimal compared with FDX's.

Best of Luck. I always wanted to be an astronaut. They had some pretty ridiculous requirements though and I ended up as an MD-11 Captain for FDX. Go figure?! The only thing I'm missing is being an Orion trader in Green Animal Women.

I dont think wearing a clown suit nor name calling will help your chances...

"Forced"? Really?

As long as it is within the law, FedEx can discriminate all they want. If they want to exclude those that lived in Kansas in 1996, they can.

 

[ABITRATOR]

Any idea how many classes they're having a month?

 

[Tyler Durden]

So far one a month. I believe the January and February classes were 15 or less.m I've heard the March class will be bigger...I'll let you know in a couple weeks!

 

[Los1]

20 a month until at least Nov '12.
