The internal is a must. Sorry, but it does make sense. It narrows down an otherwise huge group of applications. And it gives flight management (God bless their pointed little heads) what they really want- some inside information on a qualified applicant. It may not be fair to those who don't know a FedEx pilot but it seems to be working well. I fly with 18 month MD-11 F/O's all of the time and most do a very good job.
