It may just be a glitch. We were just notified about it late tonight by the hiring manager. I’d try again tomorrow. If it’s still glitching up I’ll ask them about it. It had been just Internal candidates at first so maybe something is glitched up now that they made it external.

Posting says it closed at 5pm today. How long has it been up?

Thank you very much for this info.

Thank you very much for this info.

I think it’s just a goof on their part or the posting doesn’t go live until tomorrow. The Jan 15 5pm closing date had been the date for internal candidates.

The hiring manager knows about it. Hopefully it gets corrected sometime today. I think they have the Jan 15 close date in error, as that was the day it closed to internal candidates.

Interesting. Never heard of that. So do most people who start as domestic recovery hope to move to actual dispatch position? It sounds like two different jobs

They fill what they need at the time. Service recovery and dispatchers are all “GOC Specialists” and have the same base pay. (The overrides are a little different). Service recovery is more of what you might consider “flight coordinators” at other airlines.
Monitoring delays, swapping a/c, setting up adhoc flights, etc etc.
But FedEx requires all GOC specialists to have a dispatch license. You can move from service recovery into dispatch if you desire, usually after a year in the position if there’s a “flight” opening. Some people get in the Service Recovery side and decide they like it so they stick with it. Service Recovery people still have to go through dispatch OJT and a desk check albeit a little more accelerated training. Service Recovery still has to do an annual FAM ride like the dispatchers.

Interesting info, thanks for the clarity. Curious if these are vacancies because of holiday/end-of-year retirement, as neither FedEx nor UPS post these kinds of (external) openings very often.

Again, good luck all.
