Not sure where you're coming from with the boxes comments. I was seriously thanking Fedex for looking at us older pilots with experience. Like I said a couple years ago several f/o's with no 121 pic headed to Delta while more experienced people with thousands of hours of pic were passed by.
And not trying to make this a military vs. civilian thread either. It's clear that Fedex can hire very qualified people. A lot of us at my regional put in paperwork when the window opened in Jan 2011 and are patiently waiting our turn.
And yes I am a good guy.
I love how all the "alleged" FedEx pilots on this thread pipe in and smack regional people and FedEx wannabes down like they are the authority on everything with regards to hiring decisions, work ethic, pilot entitlements, resumes, etc. And then the regional guys and wannabes come back with an apology to them! LOL that is classic!
News flash - no matter what FedEx pilot buttoks you kiss, IT WILL NOT HELP YOU ANY MORE TO GET HIRED AT FEDEX. It's all a completely objective points system and the process has changed significantly since the mid 2000 era of sponsors and nepotism.
