Dude,

Sorry to hear about your furlough..... But I love your avatar; You could make a living off of selling ones like that.

Anyway, from the experience of my friends who got on at Fedex, I think that you had better have a squadron patch... I.E., the only people that I know that have gotten on in the past few years at Fedex are military pilots. Yes, I know that Fedex does hire quite a few civilians, however, I don't know any personally. None of my civilian friends got on there, and quite a few military ones didn't either...

I think that your chances would be better at UPS if you get the 1000 PIC Turbine. But that's just my humble opinion from my experience... UPS hired a ton of pilots from all different walks, including a few with 2 year degrees.

Good Luck,

P.S.- If you don't make it in the Fedex interview, then you've got some HR idiot at the next company grilling you on why you got out of aviation for a year and are you sure this is the right career path for you.... I know, they're just trying to get a rise out of you.... Good luck
