Your situation is not different from someone who gets his MEI as his first instructor license, then the CFII and never adds the single-engine CFI.
This is the frustration...the loose terms. I have a CFI which is my certificated flight instructor certificate. Even on the FAA pilot registry i show ATP and CFI. My ratings on my CFI are instrument airplane and airplane multiengine. No, I can’t instruct on single engine unless I get a single engine add on. You don’t get additional flight instructor certificates though......a CFI is a CFI. CFI does not mean single engine to the FAA.
The burning question is what FedEx calls it and what they want us mil comp dudes to answer. Hoping a FedEx guy/gal might be able to chime in. Like Mox Nix alluded to it’s not a contest- Most of us don’t instruct on the civilian side anyway. But we can’t lie on the app and just ignore our instructor “stuff”. I wish they had their definitions on the application.
