[QUOTE=Snaplock;2299192]I call B.S. on this. What about the F-16 dudes who have been hired at FedEx? I think that FedEx PROBABLY counts military trainers in that total time just fine as well. Until someone from FedEx says T-6 time doesn't count then I call b.s.

I also found this:

I already asked about that old post specifically and here's what I got back from Pilot Credentials Support:

Unfortunately Ren has not been with us for several years.

In regards to the requirements, they have changed since 2011. The T-38 will definitely apply towards the required time, however I will need to forward the issue to our FedEx rep to get a new answer regarding the T-6.

After this email I received a follow up from PC:
We have received a response, unfortunately they are insisting on multi-engine aircraft only.

 

Update, our IT department is too busy working on Amazon Killer. Endorsement changes delayed a week, probably Washington's Birthday now.

 

I find it a bit disconcerting that its anticipated commencement was going to be the 15th, and I still don't know what it is or how it works except for the info that has been posted here. Especially since it could have a large an impact on someone I am sponsoring/recommending/endorsing.... or whatever the current term is.

 

They like to wait until the day of or day after

 

The F-16 would fall under jet aircraft. The multi-engine only applies to turboprop aircraft.

 

[QUOTE=GF22;2299212]Well, that seems a little ridiculous to say T-6 time is good and then a few years later to say that it isn't. What about the T-37 then? It's ME but not 12,500 GTOW.

 

[QUOTE=Snaplock;2299642]While I agree with you, it is their football, and if they want to change the rules, they can, or just take their ball and go home. Sad thing is that it will have issue for a few, but they will have more than ample apps to still select from.

The source that said T-6 time counted was PC, not a source at FedEx. As Package stated, it is FedEx's sandbox, so they make the rules. I would say that T-37 time wouldn't count either since the GTOW < 12,500.

If you want to see if the time will count, contact FedEx directly. If you know someone who recently got hired, I'm sure they could get you a good contact number.

You could also put in T-6 and T-37 time, just make sure you don't count it as ME > 12,500. The one thing that will ensure you never get hired is making false flight hour claims, not that you would.

 

Thanks. I actually know several who have been hired who are under the stated minimums if you don't count T-6 or T-37 time. So, there's that.

In my case I meet the minimums regardless, just trying to understand what the real answer is.

Thanks for the integrity check. I don't know what I would have done if you didn't catch me on that. Or, perhaps if you go in and look at PC it automatically calculates what the GTOW is for you. There is no way to fudge it.
