Ugh...missed this. Appreciate the talk on.

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!

With zero TPIC, I’d say your chances are zero.

What he said. They drove home pretty strongly at NGPA that the 1000TPIC is not negotiable.

I thought they got rid of the TPIC requirement? ( not saying you'll get an interview without it, but none the less.)

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

Oh really! Ok, I thought what 123456 did

Is 1000 TPIC in a Twin Otter non 121 keep me in the running or is it hard set on 121 TPIC?

Pretty sure it changed when they changed over to the new system and got rid of pilot credentials. This is from the FedEx careers web page.. It now says 'preferred', not required.

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.
