I can't belive no one here has told him he's going to Hong Kong.
Anybody having issues trying to update their FedEx app?

I try to sign is (after the username/password format change) and all is does is loop me back around to the ORIGINAL sign in page.
Ranger, "As far as your min days off question is concerned, I'm on a trip and don't have my copy of the contract with me."

Ranger, just FYI, PDF or Word copies of the CBA are easily downloaded from either the Fedex or ALPA websites (I use the PDF version because of the word and phrase search features that Adobe provides).
Personally, I would be very uncomfortable not having a copy available while I was on a trip. I've got it loaded on my Apple's Dock, so that I can call it up at the drop of a hat.
Having it easily available has allowed me to keep mgmt and scheds from pulling a fast one on me several times over the years.

If you have 1500TT & 1000 hrs multi-engine turbine PIC - - Go for it!

If you dont apply, you will never get a call.

The FedEx website has the exact requirements posted.

1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in-command (PIC) or second-in-command in multi-engine turbo-prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof, including a minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof.
Note: PIC for this purpose is defined as Captain/Aircraft Commander of record, not simply the sole manipulator of the controls.
Note: FedEx considers only pilot time in fixed wing aircraft toward minimum qualifications. This does not include simulator, helicopter, flight engineer, bombardier, navigator, RIO, EWO, WSO, NFO, or Special Crew.

J,

What's up buddy? Had to move and miss the nice weather down here didn't you!
Quote: how many hours do these 30 year old pilots have under their belt before they even think about applying for fed ex?
All depends. I had 4200 hours of military time at age 30 . .but no one was hiring.

Had to wait until age 33 before FedEx was hiring.

Rather than asking . . keep plugging . . because according to everything I hear and read . . it will be a while before the hiring window opens up again. UNLESS . . you have thousands of 'heavy' over water time and don't mind moving to mainland China

Sounds like someone was passing gas in an orbit, ....or hauling Charmin from Travis to Yakota!
They had Charmin at Yokota? Man would that have been nice. We had to use the sand paper at least twice at Kunsan before it was smooth.
That sandpaper was the national toilet tissue of France. That seems to be all that was used there.

How 'bout "rubber dog poo from Hong Kong"?
'Sounds like' some folks are jealous?

Define “over”... my aircraft was on the ship’s deck, which was technically over the water, as we transited back and forth across the Atlantic... Let’s see, 12 days multiplied by 24 hours multiplied by however many trips... How many hours do I need again???
