First of all - the 1000 PIC is now "preferred". I have no idea if that means they have made a practice of actually hiring pilots with less than 1000 PIC.

So, the question I have is will that time be accepted for the 1000 TPIC requirement?
Do you have access to the careers section of the fedex website?

There is no contention of what hours actually qualify as PIC. Sole-manipulator hours do not. So getting legalistic with the FAR definition of PIC time has absolutely nothing to do with what FedEx has decided they will accept as PIC time for whatever published or internal minimums they have decided they'll accept.
