The test overview is just that. Use it for study topics. The actual test is given in MEM when HR calls you for an interview.

The rest is mostly T-6 time. 3,600 total, but I'm not currently getting any multi turbine time and won't for a while. Am I SOL?

Have you filled out the App? Your T38 tome probably gets a 0.2 multiplier.

I can't even fill out an app since I have to answer "no" to the question

"Do you have at least 1500 hours total fixed-wing time as PIC or SIC in multi-engine turbo-prop or jet A/C or combination thereof."

Even with a multiplier I fall short on the multi turbine time.

I had heard from 3 FedEx pilots that the minimums were changing or had already changed. Wasn't sure if pilot credentials screening hadn't been updated, but figure that would probably be an unlikely oversight.

Does anyone know how often the computer (or a human) is pulling apps and reviewing them? Is it continuous or is it done periodically?

One change was the removal of 1000TPIC required to simply preferred. Although if MORE changes are on the way I'm not sure if they've come out yet.

Yeah I was glad when that change came, as it got me a little closer. Still not there yet though. Thanks for the info.

Hang in there. Your time is the exact type of time that FedEx would want. I would suspect that you'll have your choice to come here, or go wherever else you might want to fly. Best of luck.

Many of us are very frustrated with the process. Some are getting calls with no recommendations, others it takes a very high level endorsement to get past the Shiza Screen. My primary guy I've been pushing for the past 6 months just decided to go elsewhere. We are passing on rock stars because apparently the lawyers and senior managers know better then us lowly line pukes. The process that Doctor Kevorkian brought here a few years back is completely FUBAR. We pass on great people with tons of recommendations to hire anyone with glass time or someones father's brother's nephew's cousin's college former roommate who happen to have a 3.25 GPA.

I can't find info on the INTL bases...is there any kind of document or website that outlines the perks of living out there, how much you'll actually make in general, what the details of the assignment are (housing, insurance, schools) etc?

Appreciate the info guys, thanks!
