Every check ride, phase check, line check, written matters. The less on your PRIA the better.

I was reading an old FedEx thread from 2006 about getting hired and have a question. Someone commented that if you work as a package handler for a year and meet the minimum requirements (bachelors, 1500 turbine, etc), you are basically guaranteed an interview. Is this still the case?

Prior employment at FedEx does not guarantee an Interview.

It may help come interview time though.

There is a path to an interview if you go the instructor route and put in a 2 year commitment.

Again, this is the mid 90s. Maybe the same concept applies today?

Neither does current employment as a VP, or so I hear

IDK, I heard rumor that Tim Leonard is going to be on the Pilot Seniority List soon.

It’s a lot more difficult than it once was. You have to maintain currency at 100hrs/yr in a <12.5 aircraft now. These requirements change fairly frequently though
