Default FedEx qualifications (TOGW)

Hi all

Can anyone tell me for certain if FedEx still requires that your PIC time be in a multi-engine jet aircraft with a takeoff gross weight of at least 20000lb? I dont see it on their website now but I thought it was once on there and I've been told by a couple of people that its a requirement. Also if it is a requirement is it for any airplane or only if your time was in a multi-recip engine instead of a turbo-prop/turbo fan airplane.

yOu are combining requirements.

Its 1500 tt

w/ 1000 PIC in either Jet, multi engine Turboprop, or multi recip over 20K.

EDIT: I just reviewed the requirements. And they have gotten rid of the Multi recip over 20 K. So recip time counts for squat. You need either jet or multi Turboprop. Sorry T-6 and T-34 guys.

EDIT 2: Here they are verbatim:

1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in-command (PIC) or second-in-command in multi-engine turbo-prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof, including a minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof.
Note: PIC for this purpose is defined as Captain/Aircraft Commander of record, not simply the sole manipulator of the controls.
Note: FedEx considers only pilot time in fixed wing aircraft toward minimum qualifications. This does not include simulator, helicopter, flight engineer, bombardier, navigator, RIO, EWO, WSO, NFO, or Special Crew.

The 20k multi Recip was allowed not to long ago.
