Package Express in CLT or Ram Air in RDU. Both hire at 135 mins. Start in a PA-32 go to a PA-34 or C-402. Pay is liveable(I did it for 2 years). Good luck!

The time requirement for the Fedex Feeders is 2000 PIC from the last time I heard. Most of the Fedex Feeder jobs are a premium position for the most part when compared to some other similar operations. In most cases the aircraft are very well maintained and Fedex for the most part is interested primarily in a SAFE operation.

That just about sums it up.

Pay isn't bad either. Seems to me they are looking for people that are skilled and are going to stay on for the long term. FedEx feeder flying has to be one of the best jobs out there. Very low turnover, good training, good work environment. Safety IS before schedule there.

I know that Flight Express is holding classes...two CFI's from my former place of employement got hired there and someone when to Superior Aviation in Lansing, MI to fly the 208.

Scub,

Flight Express or Airnet is the best exprience you can get to start you on your career path. The type of flying you will do there will make you a "tough as nails" instrument pilot. I left FLX after two years and 2400 hours and I was 10x the pilot I was when I started. The planes are safe and well-maintained but sparsley equipped. YOU do all the flying! Spend about 12 months in a 210 then onto the Barons for a while. After that some regionals will look at you seriously. FLX likes pilots who WANT to work there so CALL and follow up. It's not an easy job but it is fun and challenging.

I'm in a cushy Caravan job now which is a vacation compared to FLX. Thanks to my prior experience at FLX they could not wait to hire me here.

Good luck to you...

LOL! probably not a good idea right now since this FLX pilot just got fired yesterday:

So, there is a new opening in Orlando now.

Call and ask for Matt Harper the chief pilot and tell him you really want to work there. As I said, they hire people who WANT to work there. Matt is super nice.

Someone mention college degree

A college degree means nothing at the job level being described in this thread, I would doubt any one of them would ask anything about college, and would not require transcript.
