Has anyone heard of a situation like this where previous FedEx employees got preferred treatment?

I haven't even started my instrument rating yet, so I have a longggg time to go before I'm at that stage but it was just in the back of my mind.

I'd say that it certainly helps a good bit. I was recently hired after previously being an Intern with the company some 15 years ago, while in College. Like the fella above stated about the Pilot Credentials section. But also it provides an abundance of talking material during your Interview, shows your dedication to the company, and gives you terrific insight to the operation.
