Could someone out there expound on the FedEx / UPS currency requirements. Is there a hard requirement for 100 hours in the last year? Does it matter what type airplane those hours are in? I am in the military in a non flying job for the next 10 months before I am out and will have a tough time logging 100 hours in military aircraft. Would it help to log the hours in a light civil? Thanks for all of the great information so far.

Not a hard and fast rule

There are a lot of factors that go into this formula. I think the most important has to do with the meet and greet. I would find someone who has a good rep with the current administration and get him to walk you in when you get a chance, even prior to your exit from the military. I don't think the 100 hour is hard and fast. They understand there are some cases where it is just impossible to get the time, i.e. you're deployed to Iraq in a non-flying position. Little tough to go out in Falusia and get the Cessna fired up for a run around the pattern. Just have to be aware if you are called for an interview the onus is on you to be ready for the sim.

If I was you I would find a way to log those hours. Good luck. I am talking about FDX.
Well, my buddy, hired in Jan, and was the junior guy for 4+ months, hadn't flown in 4 years when he interviewed, other than a few hours in the sim! So, if it is a "rule", its not hard and fast "rule"!
