I've seen and heard this enough recently to comment. When I was hired ~5 years ago, the ops center was full of displays with military helmets, airplanes, plaques and pictures on the wall. That is not the case today. I won't argue Fedex either used to hire or appeared to hire military in large numbers (I can't officially say as I don't have the facts and figures), but it least appeared that way.

To the current folks trying to get hired here. Spread the word- Fedex no longer favors military (if they ever did). They hire a good mix, from what I've seen and heard here for a long time. Let's squash this notion.

That is, if you actually want the job. Then you figure out what it takes.
Due to the New improved pilot hiring computer algorithm a major break in flying is a issue.

I didn't know anyone at the company before I was hired last year. I have been told that was odd, but have since run into several people that got the call without a letter of rec or internal sponsor. So, it does happen.

Don't need a sponsor or even a letter from a FDX pilot anymore. Apply and wait...the only thing you can do. Good luck

Heard from the 757/767 Fleet Captain that for Civilians, the sweet spot is 6,000 Total Time. More is fine, but won't necessarily help you and doesn't hurt you. If you have a lot more than that, they want to see something in addition to normal line flying. Line Check Airman, Sim Instructor, Union Work, being in Management, Community Service, etc.

That information is about a year old, FYI.

I would believe that to be true for just about any airline hiring right now.

With 10,000TT, you are probably over qualified, or "untrainable", according to the company. I've heard that too much time can disqualify guys.
