I believe for a short time under JL, Fedex's hiring policy went as far to say they wouldn't hire a active pilot from one of the Majors, which still baffles me. I think that policy was finally changed.

Lets not harbor any ill will to any individual pilot on this. Who can blame anyone for wanting or accepting a job at any Major carrier , let alone FedEx and getting hired directly into an INTL widebody FO seat! Good for them. I would have jumped at that opportunity in a NY second.

MGT is responsible for hiring the way they do, not us nor the Union.
MGT still hasn't quite figured out that if they want the most senior and most experienced Pilot on for a specific seat or route structure (i.e. INTL) then they need to structure the pay differently.
Generally if a seat/base pays more it will go more senior.
