I don't think we'll see those kind of 'requirements.' FedEx is still mostly run as an airline, not a trucking company, with pilot input, not trucker's. Anyone in this industry knows that pond-crossing, 'heavy' experience, FMS work isn't really that big of an advantage even in the short run and almost none in the long run. They tried to do it with the PN program, but still ended up putting some pointy nose guys up there.
Anybody who thinks different is selling an agenda.
