Default Possible phishing exploit on FEDEX's site?

OK, I admit, I am a computer freek, but has anyone else noticed this?

I was on the pilot careers page on the fedex site, and after about 5 seconds I was redirected to another site that had a page very similar to the one that I was on, except that I was no longer on the fedex.com website. I also received the security warning notice that their security certificate was invalid. All of this seemed very odd to come from FEDEX.

Here is the careers page on the FEDEX site where I was redirected from ..

http://www.pilot.fedex.com/careers/qualifications.shtml

and I was directed to:

https://www.pilotcredentials.com/careers/

Notice that its not even on the FEDEX website - yet this is where the $50 is paid to apply.

I tried to look up the domain name owner for 'pilotcredentials.com' and it was not available. (Hmm..)

It's been awhile since I looked at the FEDEX application site but I don't recall this from before.

Anyone know if the pilotcredentials site is part of FEDEX?

In the meantime I think I'll just hold on to my cc #.
