All of my jet experience is in the CJ3 and CJ4. Once I meet the FedEx mins I am definitely going to apply. Seems like a phenomenal airline job from all that I have heard and read on these forums.
I was planning on continuing to build my PIC multi-turbine time in light jets (and possibly even a King Air 350). If I eventually meet and exceed the FedEx FO mins am I viable candidate having no heavy jet experience?
I’m sure that I would have a higher likelihood of being hired if I went to the regionals and built some “heavy” jet time. Just wondering if many pilots that haven’t gone the regional route are being hired.
Thanks very much for any helpful replies. Much appreciated.
I recently flew with a guy who hadn’t flown anything larger than an ATR. No jet time at all. So yes, you can make it with what you have. Apply, update often. Make sure you have something other than being a line pilot on your resume. They like seeing Check Airman, Instructor, management, etc.
