Now that doesnt always mean the job is theirs but it certainly increases their chances wouldnt you say?

Exactly my point! I was just suggesting that being former military really seems to increase your chances at Fedex, especially for networking reasons. Most I know there are former service.
Supposedly, what also increases your chances is coming on this forum and telling people that you are going to work there because you have exactly 1,000.00 hours in a beech 1900, metro, or navajo. A degree in pine cone management with a minor in karate from the University of Phoenix online is also the other way to get in.
