I have 4000+ hours of flight time at the 19 year point in the Air Force. I have been flying UAVs for the last 2 years. Does anyone know if this will be an immediate show stopper for FedEx when I submit my application, due to a lack of recency of flight experience?

It hasnt been a problem in the past, but only the lawyers know for sure. If you get invited for an interview I think you will know the answer.

When I interviewed, I had been a 727 SO for 6 years and the interview folks never said anything. Good Luck!
