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!

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

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

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

Same issue I've now run into. From what I can figure, the wording in the flight hours requirements section on the website has changed. The initial yes/no hours requirement question to create a profile has not.
Whatever requirement to have time in an aircraft 12.5K or greater has never come to my attention but good to know they're including more types.
