Does anyone know if the residency requirement applies to US citizens that were working in the UAE?

I’m former EK and don’t really want to wait 3 more years to apply to FedEx.

I assume the requirement applies, but I’m just hoping there is a loophole.

Thanks

Unless you were there working for the US government (DOS, DOD, etc) it applies. It’s a requirement based on the US Postal service contract background inspections.

What residency requirement? I think that is gone. It isn't on the qualifications list at least.

There is no longer a requirement to have resided in the US for the last 5 Years. Such requirement have been lifted.

Is the current pilot demand at FedEx primarily sourced from attrition or expansion? I am assuming that it's a bit of both, but was really wondering how much growth there actually is.

Thanks in advance.

Attrition mostly. We have been in the 4600 pilot range give or take a bit for awhile.

Management seldom shares manning info with the crew force.

Approximately 10 years ago we went from 3 pilot to 2 pilot airplanes so we needed fewer pilots. Then AGE 65 happened and almost no one retired for 5 years. Those folks that would have retired at 60 are finally starting to retire.

There are too many moving parts to answer your question. It's a good place to work (except for maybe the horrible hours!*?). Throw your hat in the ring ... good luck.

I think around 70% of the crew force retires in the next 10 years. Or 12 if the mandatory age is upped to 67

67? Really?

Let me go wash my mouth out with a revolver.
