That would specifically apply to the T-44...however, if you look at the application for FedEx, selecting T-44s in the drop-down menu will automatically save your time under the option of less than 12,500k.
So I guess the million dollar question is where it truly falls under. Old gouge or "glitch" in the new system/rules? Or the cynical option...no soup for you.
It may be like the logging of PIC time that is discussed so often on the forum.
The FAA allows sole manipulator to be logged, yet certain airline only recognize the time that you actually *signed* for the aircraft.
I don't know which thread you got the information you posted from and the context, but maybe FedEx just doesn't recognize the same category similarities on their application.
Good luck though.
