Memphis Aug. 2-3

so can we say with reasonable accuracy that the "9000" number is unrealistic?

I have no idea. That number came from the FDX ALPA reps that do the indoctrination, er, introduction to all the new hires.

Does that 9000 include all of us on the list now, or the Irish replacements???

Yes. The rumor du jour during the '01-'02 time frame was "7000 in '07". That's not going to happen, obviously.

However, I would like to think the ALPA dudes have a clue as to what's going on, but I haven't seen 1000 guys a year going through yet.

KD called today!! Woohoo! Will be there on 8/2-3. Anyone else? Am getting in touch with Albie as we speak. Good luck to everyone else.

OK, the jury is out. Got back from Memphis Wed. night. Currently throwing rocks at any Fedex truck that rolls through the neighborhood!!

Must be true, because the Electronic Flight Bag will be fully installed and operational in the spring of 2005... .

Hmmmmmm, it sure is hot outside this spring. . . .

Just curious, what is the current timeframe from your initial ACP "meet 'n greet" to getting the call? I have heard it is starting to get pretty backed up over there....

Thanks!!

Latest word on the line is that guys are waiting anywhere from 3-9 months to get a call for interview. Also it seems like its 50/50 whether you even get a call from the guys that I have spoken to.

Mine was about 2 months, but I was fortunate and didn't go through the Memphis guys- I went through Anchorage. I think Memphis is getting pretty backed up.

World,
I interviewed 3/4 Aug. I'm interested to know when you hear something as I shouldn't be too far behind. Best of luck.

Good luck, I'll let you know. Hopefully not in the next couple of days!

You may hear after one week, but I hope not. At least 2/6 of my group did.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread to say the 737 rating was for fedex changing a/c, obvious joke, but in all seriousness, does a place like ups, fedex, etc look down on people having the 737 type with no time? As in "you obviously wanted to work for southwest, why should we hire you?" I have heard this rumor before, no clue if it holds any water, thoughts??? by the way congrats on the call...

It didn't seem to matter for me, it was never even discussed in the interview. If I had to pick between the two, I would certainly go purple.

Congrats WOT and welcome aboard!! Go have a beverage now while you can!!

I had a 737 type with no time and it never came up when I interviewed.
