FxFan,
I don't know too much about the topic at hand, as I am new too all this. What I do know is that with Fedex more so than UPS its about who you know and who they know and what they can do for you. I put my apps in a month ago with both and just got an interview offer at UPS. I didn't know a single contact nor anyone in the company. I guess they liked what they saw in my resume, I really don't know. If I can land a job with either it would be awsome but unless your networking right now and meeting people that fly with Fedex you might never get a call from them, no matter how good you are. Just my 2 cents.
