If it's true that FedEx is now leery of hiring military pilots, there must be a reason. I wonder if it's the fact that so many people stay in the reserves or the guard after they are hired. I am prior military and obviously have nothing against military pilots. However, if I was an employer and had my choice of qualified people who are generally 100% available to work, and others who might knock out trips every month (including during peak), and be deployed for months at a time, whom would I hire? The person who is going to be full time (to the best of my knowledge). Just a thought about why they might be not as interested in the military types.

I remember in the nineties, FedEx hired many Delta and AA furloughed pilots who went back when recalled. It took them some time to hire furloughees again, since they'd been burned so badly.
