FedEx Hiring
Hi everyone, been browsing around here and decided to ask a question about my personal situation.
What are my prospects of getting on with FDX, with experience of:
5700 total time, of which
-3000 is 737 all right seat(Europe)
-2000 on a 777 right seat(worldwide operation from the Gulf)
-and the other 700 is piston(all in the US).
I do have a bachelors degree.
My concerns are:
-0 jet PIC time(about 500 PIC on the pistons)
-never flown for an air carrier in the US(although I am a US citizen with US ATP)
Thanks!

Incorrect. 1000 TPIC still applies, and if it ever gets lifted, I’m sure it will have its own thread.

It's always said preferred. Internal scuttlebutt / guidance is it's not preferred, it's mandatory.
As far as I know, the horrible new app website did not have any effect on that 1000 TPIC requirement. Don't want you guys to get your hopes up.
