A couple of resume entries that will absolutely help are having experience as a Line Check Airman, or as a simulator instructor. I imagine that experience would help for any airline, but it is very heavily weighted at FDX. B767 time also seems to have helped guys with zero internal references. Beyond that, understanding the hiring matrix is anyone's guess (including some of the folks in charge of pilot recruitment). As BlackKnight said, no one really knows.
