FedEx is one of the hardest jobs to get in the industry. Their minimums don't reflect their hiring, but like most other good-paying aviation jobs, you will need about 10-15 years of professional flying experience, around 4000+ hours with at least 1500+ as captain of a jet. Also, FedEx really favors 3 internal pilot recommendations. They don't require it, but realistically, you probably won't get an interview unless you meet most or all of these requirements...so start making friends in Memphis.
