I understand FDX is totally opposite when it comes to the nepotism rules. When I used to flight instruct at my former university we had many students who had relatives at FDX; we used to bet which one of the kids would get on with Purple the fastest.
Almost all of the ones I knew were hired shortly after they got their 1,000 turbine pic at the commuter of their choice; many went to Pinnacle, etc. and many chose other, smaller commuters were you could upgrade in no time just to get the turbine pic time; they knew they had interviews waiting for them. Some were really young when they got on, heck with this new age 65 rule, they’ll eventually have some 40-year captains over there.
