dogg,
while occationally share your frustration about military pilots getting jobs easier, there is something to be said about being an F15 pilot. Most military pilots fly transports and such any they don't have it as easy as the fighterpilots, as they are usually the top of their class. An Employer recognizes this and shows bias to them (I might do the same). Having said this, Fedex seems to base their hiring more on ability than on where you learned to fly. Just look at the profiles of some of the Fedex guys on this board. They have a pre-employment sim check that is a bear I am told, and if you pass it then no matter whether you are F15 or E120, you should get a job. And remember this, the military is also subject to supply and demand. A pilot that qualified to go military in 1998, may not have made it in 1990, when they had absolutely no waivers.
Hang in there and keep adding to your resume, you'll get what you want.
