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.

So I'm supposed to be a Professional Airline Pilot that doesn't fly much?

Lol, I understand that you're just passing along what you've heard and I appreciate that. There's just something seriously flawed with that logic. Especially, considering Age 65 and and an economic downturn that had a lot of us stuck during the "Lost Decade".

Had to fly a good bit just to get by on RJ and Airbus rates.

It just shows how screwed up FedEx is if there is a "range" of hours they are looking at. The whole process got messed up when an outside non pilot was brought in to devise a selection process. Pilot input now is almost nil. A pilot rec was the best way to hire, IMO.

A couple weeks. They're interviewing folks that are available now-next month to start the next class. Agree in on CIV-mil mix. My indoc class is about 50/50.

Does anyone (Albie?) know when one can re-interview? I interviewed a few months ago, made it past day 1...only 2 of 6 got the nod on the second day.
