I would think having 767 time, particularly as a captain, would take the priority. Plus, do you already have instructor or evaluator time of some sort? Seems like that would check the block. Maybe the experts will weigh in here. You sound extremely well qualified. Honestly, if they don't interview someone with your kind of experience, there's something wrong here.

Does being current on a FedEx fleet type hold a lot of weight? I'm currently a 757 Captain, Checkairman and sim instructor. I have the opportunity to change fleets and get a new type on an aircraft FedEx doesn't fly. I'd also be a sim instructor once I get some time in the aircraft. 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

I got an invite last friday

Backup plan training in a couple of weeks.

IMO, you are doing everything you can already, unless you can get 767 time, which doesn't sound possible at your current gig. 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.

Thanks for the response. I've checked my app so many times my eyes are starting to cross. I've heard the "you have too much time" thing as well and hope it's not true. Maybe it's time to start pencil whipping my logbook in reverse. Lol I keep hoping for the interview invite but not sure what the magic formula is. Fingers crossed to join you guys/gals one day.

Any all corporate guys getting the call?
All part 91 here, 5000 tt, 1500 tpic, aviation degree, high gpa, lots of corporate type ratings... Crickets. Thanks!

Just Flew with 2 new hires that were all corporate.

I would ask Kim

I am all Corporate -- 7500TT, 2500 TPIC, 4 corp jet types. Checked a few extra boxes on the app, like Chief Pilot, Check Airman (past Part 135 gig). 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.
