Contacting a FedEx pilot
Mail may be sent to FedEx pilots:
Name
c/o FedEx
P.O. Box 727
Memphis, TN 38194-0137
This is for stamped mail, not over night letters.
Now you have one way to re-establish contact with an old co-worker.
Good luck

Go Fish
Or you could just start naming people that you know and we will let you know if they work here.
Seriously, you need to think of one guy that you think might work at Fedex or UPS and go from there.

Look at the first line under the word "Qualifications".
That line used to say "Minimum qualifications to be considered..."
That changed to "Typical qualifications..." when they wanted to hire some pilots who didn't quite
meet the "mimimum" qualifications, but who were eminently qualified, shall we say, demographically.
Or so the story goes...
"Personal recommendations" aren't listed so they won't get sued when they want to hire a
demographically qualified pilot who doesn't have a personal recommendation.

I would like to say how thoroughly disappointed I am to have read this thread. While I got some good info from it, it still discourages me to think that if I make it into FedEx, that my white male counterparts will instantly think of me as a "quota baby"! I don't know what else to say? Is this what my friends in FedEx say behind the other non-white employees backs? If so, what are they saying about me behind my back? I understand the frustration but this is not a qouta issue. It is a survivability issue and FedEx is being proactive. If you think you can survive as a homogenous organization, you will eventually find yourselves unemployed. The white male in this society has every opportunity placed at his feet and simply has to pick up the ball and run with it but would rather cry "woe is me"! You have a job that most would kill for regardless of ethnicity and you are still crying foul???

Double D,
He's not talking about skin color. FDX's mins used to be 1000 PIC Jet. When that was the stated minimum there were a few ladies hired that did not meet this requirement. What got under every ones skin (no pun intended) was the fact that they let these people in under the minumum acceptable for everyone else. Kinda like reverse discrimination..

Is there a pilot mentoring program?
A friend of a friend of a friend (too bad he is so far removed from me!)got into Fedex in the spring with just turboprop time. Through the grapevine, I was told this guy had been involved with a formal mentoring program with Fedex for five or six years, and that the captain he was assigned to sponsored him at a meet and greet. However, I have never seen or heard of this program through any other channel, so I wonder if that information is accurate, and if so, how does one become a mentee?
Obviously, it is the dream job and I'd love any avenue in to the company. Heck, I bet a lot of crews are on layover in Indy on any given day. Anyone want a home cooked meal? My wife is a superb cook.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the ones that came in under the PIC requirement were about 10 years ago, for a brief time.
One of them balled up an MD-10 a few years ago.
EVERYONE ELSE on the seniority list made it the hard way. I know probably 20 female or minority pilots personally here, and they all have backgrounds way above the average paleface. My sim partner as a new hire was an F-18 pilot off a carrier during the Afghan campaign. I have the utmost respect for him. Don't worry about it Double D.
