I know the 1000 TPIC has become a "preferred" hiring requirement, but is this actually the case? I have about 500 hours PIC on a 727 and currently flying a 747 with around 4000 hours total. I'm obviously looking to get in the left seat again ASAP but wondering if the PIC is what's driving a nail in my coffin for now.

Keep updating your App weekly. I'm told that a Requirement reduction to 500 TPIC might be coming down the line soon.
I also wish they were doing another open house event or job fair. I got selected last year but was in ground school for my current employer. Really bummed I missed the opportunity. |
Does anyone at FedEx live in Hawaii? Is that a possible living situation?

Bunch of folks do, at least some MEM based. Can’t speak to what their commute is like but the MEM-HNL-MEM j/s are rarely full when I operate those flights. Have almost never had anyone j/s between HNL and the west coast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks for the quick reply! Don't understand exactly how your schedules work, do all trips start out of MEM? Or do a lot of trips deadhead you on the first leg?
All trips start and finish at your base (MEM in this example). If it starts and/or finishes with a deadhead you can deviate from the scheduled deadhead to/from your home or wherever you wanna go. You have a travel bank of $$ based on the value of all your deadheads that month, with some ability to carry money over to subsequent months or add to the bank (no expiration) by cancelling scheduled hotels. E.g. you’re a commuter flying a hometown line and you go home every day instead of to the hotel - $35/day into that travel bank. Lots of trips start and/or finish with deadheads in every base and a/c. Don’t have to be very senior to hold them, but you’ll have a lot less say in the pairing quality and layovers obviously.

Are they hurting that bad? Weird. I would think my 1700 TPIC and PE would have gotten me a call....oh well head back down carrying on 😁

Don't feel too bad. I had 5,000 TPIC and it still took me 7 years to get hired. :(
