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! Regionals are hiring DEC captains! |

I posted this question in the 135 thread but it may be more appropriate here:
I’m pulling chocks from Big Blue in 18-ish months and trying to decide what I want to do when I grow up. I flew F-16s for 8 years and have approx 1400 hrs, 1100 TPIC. Been in the unmanned ISR realm for the last 10 years with no appreciable “manned” hours logged in the interim. Trying to decide if I should go to the manned ISR shops (KA350 types) or 121 regional with the ultimate goal of FDX. Any insight as to what would look better on the application? TIA |

So no actual manned currency? I'd think that would need to be your first step. Then you could look at the regionals or other cargo like Kalitta. Had one guy come through where I work now, with quals similar, spent a year then went on to Southwest.

Interesting, I have similar total as you but I have over 2k tpic and I'm a 737 pic. My anchor lies on the bachelor's degree...

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.
1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in-command (PIC) or second-in-command (SIC) in a multi-engine turbo-prop aircraft, jet aircraft or combination thereof with GTOW 12,500 or greater. A minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing PIC time in a multi-engine turbo prop aircraft, jet aircraft or combination thereof in aircraft with GTOW 12,500 or greater is preferred. [/I] Sorry ahead of time if this question has been answered elsewhere in the depths of this forum. A search did not come up with and answer.. I've been updating my application on the new website and not sure how I should go about logging TT/IRP/SIC. I've always understood that as part of a double crew you can log the whole total time of the flight, but only log SIC when occupying a front seat. (Hence the 8 hours at the controls still applying). My worry, is that the new website just has provisions for PIC and SIC. This therefore shows I have about 2/3rds the time in the 747 than I actually possess. Any insight into how others have done this would be very much appreciated. |

Does anyone have any recent experience interviewing with FDX corporate?

I log it the most conservative way. You're correct in only logging right seat time as SIC. I don't log more than 8 hours per day between IRO and SIC time, and I don't log ACM time at all. I don't log IRO time as TT since it really isn't, only SIC time. But to each his own.

“Interview Instructions”
So today I got an email titled “Interview Instructions” it also showed it has attachments. (Which didn’t show up) In the text, it was a TBNT saying you have not been chosen at this time. Anyone else seen this? Or just a sick joke HR is playing? Ha
