My internal docs say we do hire from within, but that most internal guys don't have the right time.
Mr. TheTank is correct...unfortunately there is no internal path/program (though the Purple Runway program should be up and running with the feeders very soon if not already). They love hiring previous FedEx employees though. And, there are several pilots that worked in other areas of FedEx. I can only assume it looks very favorably on a resume.

Correcto. There is no "twin" time...only single or multi-engine, per se. From my understanding, and I know only as much as the next guy, all time "counts", but only flight time in something heavier than 12,500lbs counts towards the minimums.

I wasn't asked a single question about the company in my interview.
You are added to the seniority list on your first day of basic indoc. You'd start at the bottom, but you'll get to keep your very senior looking employee number!
