I'm just an average line "dog" (in other words: I have absolutely NOTHING to do with hiring) but I've never heard of a (formal or informal) requirement for a type rating at FedEx. Generally speaking, An established military background speaks for itself. I understand the discussion above about the competition for this job but I'd say you're already highly qualified.
I'd spend my time getting to be REALLY good friends with your sponsor. He's now the key to your M&G (I really hate that term; I prefer to call it the IFTI, "Interview for the Interview") at FedEx. He's really the key to breaking you out of the quadrillion applications.
