What kind of time does FEDEX prefer?

Once upon a time, there was no union at Fedex. The company wanted to try and keep it that way. They felt hiring older Military guys would would enhance their chances of keeping it that way. The reason for this was simple: Military guys had not been exposed to union stuff, they were used to "following orders", living in crapy conditions and not complaining. Also, many were retirees who already had money coming in.

That, and there being a good old boys network, really kept the numbers hi.

With the Tigers merger in the early 90's I think the company pushed the military thing even harder. If you look at some of the old interview questions, which are no longer legal, you will see this.

Along came the union, and then the company realized that some of the most militant (Pro Union) were ex military!

Now however, I think its a perfectly level playing field, with one exception. The inside hook is imperative to get the interview, with more mil guys on the inside, the more influence they have.

I also don't think are numbers are much different then Delta's.
