No, there are 8 slots. Women and minorities are pilots too. From the tone of your post you'll probably be happy to know that current class is 8 white males...

I am not connected, but it is my impression that the Active FedEx Pilot Sponsor doesn't carry the same weight as it once did.

I have filled out 2 Sponsor/Recommendations in the last 2 years and unfortunately neither of them have received an invite. Hope it isn't me.

It's not just you.

This is not the company we used to work for. Think Delta in the nineties.

I know a guy who only had light(er) twin turboprop PIC time (B1900) and got hired. He was also a chief pilot at a 135 outfit in AK so that was probably what really set him apart.
