So, no, don't assume anything.
That being said, if you are getting out of the military and you don't have a backup plan for when your dream job doesn't call you on your timeline, you're wrong.

Backup plan training in a couple of weeks.

Would you guys recommend staying on the 757 or does it really matter? FedEx is my dream job so I'd rather stay in my current role if FedEx looked favorably on it. In case anyone cares 11k TT, 8500ish TPIC and 3500 on the 757. Thanks

Being a check airman and sim instructor are HUGE positives on your app. Make sure every single line of your app is filled out properly, that there are no spelling or grammar errors, and no timeline gaps in your employment/studies history. I can't say definitively on what your total time means, if anything. There is an unsubstantiated rumor that too much TT actually lowers your overall application's "points". Again, not sure if that is a fact and/or how much time is too much. Your experience sounds ideal for who we should be hiring. Good luck.

I would ask Kim

They seem to be big on checkride failures (based on the entire page on the application dedicated to failures) which I thankfully had none. Got turned down on day 1 of the interview unfortunately.
