What would be the wrong site? I've been using https://careers.fedex.com/ but I never saw a "pilot-attestation" page.

The old Pilot Credentials site that was used for quite a while.

Has anyone else noticed the new hours descriptions for hiring minimums? Just came to my attention. Big news for single-engine folks.

Hopefully someone can answer this.

On the “minimum qualification” page it states the requirement of “1500 total
fixed wing”. On the basic questionnaire when creating a profile it ask if you have 1500 total MULTI engine PIC/SIC. Which one are they wanting? If it’s only 1500 total time, but I’m required to click no on the other basic questionnaire that ask if I have 1500 MULTI then I can’t continue to create a profile. Thanks!

I doubt this helps, because what you are describing is either an error in the application software or a flaw in your test taking ability. But the first paragraph is a direct quote from the hiring page and the second is a direct quote from what management recently gave to us.

Flight Hours
1500 hours total fixed-wing
1000 hours PIC in jet aircraft is preferred; multi-engine turbo-prop aircraft, 12,500 pounds or greater; certain single engine turbo-prop aircraft, or combination thereof. A minimum of 500 hours PIC as described is required.

Two particular items of note. T-6 Texan II, Pilatus PC-12 and Osprey V-22 are now considered weight equivalent aircraft to meet the 1000-hour requirement of 12.5K LBS or heavier time. In other words, pilots of these aircraft, exclusive of other experience, may count this time towards FedEx requirements. C130, Q400, P3, and a few other large turboprop aircraft are now accepted as equivalent to turbojet time. This is good news for a considerable number of our applicants. The updates to accommodate these changes are within the FedEx software, so no action by those applicants is necessary

The Osprey V-22 has a max takeoff weight of 60,500# see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey

So I doubt the inclusion is based on its weight but rather its category as a powerlift or vertical lift aircraft.

The point being that it counts now, and at some point did not.

Do you have at least 1500 hours total fixed-wing time as PIC or SIC in multi-engine turbo-prop or jet A/C or combination thereof?

This is a direct question from the questionnaire. Copy and paste.
