New FedEx Internal Recommendations Process For Pilot Applicants

[Hacker15e]

How many Blue Darts are (were?) JetBlue pilots allowed?

I hear Compass is working on a flow to FedEx. /s

It's called becoming a LCA

Yeah...not exactly.

 

[Hacker15e]

I know of at least one Compass pilot hired at FX that wasn't an LCA...

Make that 3!

But yes, I think most Compass LCA's have a "flow through" to Purple.

I like the idea of recommendations meaning something. I thought the days of "I have 15 LORS..." were a bit ridiculous.

When my friend that works in recruitment got his normal monthly "scream down" by the friend of an applicant, it was "HE'S GOT TEN LETTERS OF REC!" and he didn't like his answer of "The presence of a LOR is what's important, no one cares how many. Otherwise, you'll have people jumpseating around the system begging for LOR's"

We, supposedly, had a guy at compass who amassed several dozen United recs doing just that.

Which is why they probably don't count for as much as they used to.

The average new hire pilot, with their newfound popularity, throw those things out like beads at Mardi Gras.

I foresee less than optimal results.

I've heard that was Bill Kennedy at UAL. Heard he had one guy on each side of him at the urinal trying to hand him resumes. Needless to say he was not impressed

That happened to my friend at NGPA last year as well. Last year's WAI was the coup de grace when someone looked over the wall of the stall while he was mid-poop and started his elevator pitch.

Well, I know what I'm doing next time we're all in Vegas.

Flew with a guy back in the early 2000s during the desperate days, and would hit up every jumpseater we had to "walk his stuff in". It was embarrassing. He was no prize. A word of caution though, the guy got interviews at UPS, FDX, and SW. Quite impressive back in those days. He got on with UPS, then ended up in jail.

No chance he was the road rage guy from recent internet fame?
