Still no worky

Thanks, Klingon, but still nojoy on the app. My browser is establishing the secure connection with no problems. Password should be fine, too. Maybe it's my overseas APO address causing a flag?

I'm emailing the Flt Admin folks at FDX for help.

Thanks anyway, and good luck!!

50$

It probably costs Fedex 100$ to applicant track every resume sent it.

If you are a furloughee, save the money. They will not select you.

Can someone confirm that FedEx requires at least 1000 hrs PIC in aircraft over 20,000 lbs? Or or they just looking for 1000 hrs PIC?

What they want ... I think

From the FedEx website:

"1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in command (PIC) or first officer (SIC) including a minimum 1000 hours PIC in fixed-wing jet, fixed wing multi-engine turbo-prop, or multi-engine recip over 20,000 LBGW 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."

So in your case the lim fac isn't the weight but the number of motors on the plane. ie any T44, C12, or KC130 time would count towards the 1000 hours, but T43 time would not. It is my observation that no matter what the stated mins are most majors are looking for roughly the same thing, whether they explicitly state it or not: 1000 hours QUALITY PIC. There are some minor differances in what quality means (SWA wants turbine, FedEx wants Jet or big, etc), but the basic idea doesn't seem to change: the person in charge of a complex/fast fixed wing aircraft. I guess there are enough cargo carriers still running big recips for FedEx to leave that opening for them, but for whatever reason they don't want caravan guys.

Also, referance this thread http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2329 for another discussion.

re: what they think they want

Thanks for the clarification. Wasn't sure if the 20,000 lbs applied to all or just recip. Guess it's time to work on a new application.

Thanks.

Sorted it out

Dunno what the problem was. Guess the FDX server didn't dig my Mac. In case anyone else has problems, I played Klingon's trick of just establishing a profile from a WINDOWS based computer.

Subsequently filled in (sts) all the rest from my Mac at home with no worries.

Good luck All!!
