If you need the legal precedent, go find it if you are interested in applying at FedEx. In the interim, the FDX guys are repeating over and over that it is a requirement of getting hired at FDX.

Simply put, a requirement is a requirement, just like flight experience. Sorry for those that cannot meet all requirements. To ask the FDX guys over and over for the rationale for the requirement, as you have seen, isn't getting you your required answer.

Perhaps if you spent a little time researching it, you'd find the answer in postal regs, laws, etc. as you asked others to research and state for you. Those already hired have met the requirement. Those in the pool have met the requirement. If you don't meet the residency requirements and are seeking some sort of relief, do the footwork yourself. It may be some sort of Postal Service security thing that precludes a full up back ground check for hauling the mail. Interesting, if that IS the reason, taken that the Post Office employees have caused a common term to be coined because of some of their actions..... "GOING POSTAL,"

As you may be aware, there is a rock fight going on in the FDX HKG domicile right now. The definition of "home of record" is one of the issues. If you are in the gray area, it may not be the best of times to seek a waiver or creative interpretation from FDX corporate hiring.
