Thanks. I'm not hung up on it, it's a fact. I'm not complaining about it either. Sorry if it comes across that way. Your numbers might be correct, but from the friends I have that have gone through indoc the passed two years, it has been 80% military. Again, that's not me complaining, just stating what has been happening.
It's pretty easy math to state that if 70% of new hires are military, and 30% are civilian (not even considering that there are probably more civilian apps on file, a guess), then one has less of a chance being a civilian.
I'm doing everything I can to get HRs attention and would LOVE the opportunity to interview at FedEx. I've met plenty of great FedEx guys up in ANC; be happy to fly with them!

If I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time!

That WAS 4 years ago, and may have been the only offer for some.

Many of those guys would have mutiple offers now.

Wasn't intended as "flame".

Simply that 4 years ago was an entirely different climate than now.

Early 2012 the "big 3" weren't even interviewing yet, etc.
