Why would you even want to "qualify?"

Default beeshe suppose

I would love to apply but I've been out of the aircraft since 2012 and have been flying large drones since. I have the hours, but would they consider RPA currency?

Unfortunately RPA currency would only probably get you an interview in the IT department. They don't count it for flying currency.

Do you meet all of their requirements? Including a four year degree? Have you been residing in the USA for the last five years? Are there any thing on your record "aviation or non-aviation related" that would make you not qualify?

Not throwing punches just asking questions

Default Determined.

Merica can't tell if that was patronizing or not??... Giving you the benefit of the doubt. So here is what I was told unoficially by a fedex Check Pilot. A numbering system/matrix exists. So, civilian only, over 10k flight hours, and more than 3 aviation jobs weighed heavily against me. So while I was not told "you are not qualified", what else should I think? Yes 4 yr degree, no violations, never terminated, no pink slips, US citizen...I did meet a new hire fedex pilot about the time I got the "thanks, but no thanks" notice and he was civilian, citation pilot, 6.5K TT, part 135 only... (Proud for this guy. Not knocking him at all)

FDX is my dream job and goal. I'm not giving up.

Got any Helicopter time?

Any Float Plane time?

Any Tail Dragger time?

Any Lighter than Air time?

Any Astronaut time?


No, but I have 3,000 in a B777 Freighter. Does that count?

Who's designing this process?
