For most US airlines military SE TPIC is usually GTG. They don't care much for civilian SE TPIC, but military time is different.

Will that T6 time be just as good for the Majors besides Fed Ex? And are there any other Majors that look for a lot of Multi Turbine PIC time like Fed Ex does?
Good that you have 1000 ME TPIC. I would probably try to extend in your current slot if you're getting decent hours. FDX/UPS do seem to appreciate heavy time. You already have the instructor ticket punched, so no real need to do it again IMO. Otherwise apply for T-1's, but since they're not heavy I don't see a huge advantage there over the T-6. Even if you go to the T-6 you should still be plenty competitive assuming you have the total time.
I think the main thing for you at this point is just to stay current until you leave AD. If you don't get picked up by a major right off AD, then be prepared to go either guard/reserve, corporate, or regional to stay current until you get called.
