Fedex

Just interviewed with JetBlue. It seemed all the interviewees were furloughed US Airways, and looking at JB's last 5 months classes that seems to be the same also.

FedEx Interviewing select Furloughees

I concur with the previous posts that indicate the USAirways furloughee's are being interviewed and hired. I talked to the Chief Pilot about a friend that is furloughed from one of the Big 3 and he responded, "Doubtful". Not the news my friend wanted to hear, obviously.

He did say specifically that they were looking at USAirways pilots because "The chance of most of them ever returning to USAirways is remote." FedEx is very cautious of wasting time hiring pilots that might be recalled to their previous carrier.

Been here over a year and love the job. Can't imagine having a more flexible job than this has been.

Good luck to all of you that are trying for FedEx! It's worth the effort.

Furloughed SCA

Are you folks saying that a furloughed Sun Country pilot will not likely be interviewed?

any hope for an RJ ca?

I've had my app in with FedEx since Jan 01 without a call. I guess my biggest problem is that I don't know anybody at FedEx! This is so frustrating because I really want to work there but can't even get an interview. I've gone to the AirInc circus and meet John Ryder, Kim and Beverly ande they all say my app looks good; I just need that extra push. Any recomendations? All info / help is appreciated!

Cap'NHal,

If you want to work for FedEx, then work every angle you can! I have a feeling that they would interview you because they probably feel that FedEx is a more valuable career than Sun Country. (I don't know anything about Sun Country, so I couldn't compare the two.) What they are afraid of is hiring someone that is furloughed from what they perceive as a more lucrative job and then having that pilot go back to the previous carrier.

I was just trying to let everyone know that FedEx is very cautious of hiring SOME furloughed pilots.
