Flying for a Fedex feeder is going to provide the same basic experiences as the mainline, ie; night hub turns, relaxed ATC experiences, and less hours, but with the lower pay and bennies of a regional. As noted in another post, you will get more hours quicker at a regional (working harder for it), you will work predominantly daylight hours and (something even we at mainline don't get) decent online travel benefits. One other consideration, if you are looking at the feeder as a stepping stone, research how competitive you would be at legacy airlines vs regional guys and how soon you would be considered as such.
If Fedex is really offering a true path to employment like AA seems to be offering, than I'd say, "Go Purple" if that's really what you want to do. If all they are offering is an inside track to an interview, I think there are better options in the industry for a low timer looking beyond their initial flight training.
