To the OP ...
We're not sure that StarClipper is a FedEx pilot. I'm not sure that I would trust his shipping advice.
I recommend that you call/stop by your local FedEx Office and see what they say? If you like their answer ... pay CASH and be on your way.
I Like that we give OAL employees shipping discounts. They Flight Attendants are really nice to me when I tell them I'm a FedEx pilot.
And please let us know what you find out. We probably have the same benefits.
