One of my good friends who is a recent hire at Fedex logged student time as SIC and there was no issues whatsoever in his interview.
I think it's good you're seeking info directly from FedEx. Hopefully they clarify this for you and you can pass that on to others.
Perhaps this is just what it appears. FedEx is concerned about those who meet their hiring mins/preferred times which apparently have nothing do with total time. Maybe the assumption that times from the categories they do allow to be input into their application are somehow totaled to give an overall total time are wrong.
From the credentials section of their website:
1,500 multi engine turbine or Jet, that being either PIC or SIC (GTOW of 12.5K or more)
1,000 hrs of PIC Turbine (preferred) - also GTOW of 12.5K or more
So, maybe they only have inputs for PIC/SIC/IP because that's all they care about. It sounds like this is a situation that should be clarified. Putting student time in a SIC might have worked for some, but that really doesn't meet the letter of the law that FedEx has put on their credentials site.
T-6 is about half the 12.5K GTOW requirement, so is that even a factor in this discussion?
