Slim, FAt and None. Unless your uncle is a guy named Fred.

This was already posted by Nitefrater. Bottom line, you won't get an interview without a 4 year degree. You also won't get called without a current FE written. It's pretty simple, if you have not taken the test within two years go take it again.

From the FedEx pilot qualifications page:
__________________________________________________ _________
"Typical qualifications for consideration as a FedEx pilot.
Commercial Pilot Certificate with Multi-engine and Instrument rating (without limitations)
Current ATP Certificate
Current FE Turbojet Rating or written (FEX or Basic/turbojet)
Must pass FAA mandated drug screen
Recency and type of experience is considered
Meet requirements for and currently hold First Class Medical certification
20/20 correctable vision
College Degree from an accredited college or university
Eligibility for rapid visa issuance, issued by offices in the United States to fly to any FedEx destination.
Ability to obtain clearance from United States Postal Service for handling or access to U.S. mail, which includes FBI fingerprint check, and candidate must have resided in the United States for the last five consecutive years (except for U.S. military assignments)
Eligibility for issuance of US Security Clearance

1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in-command (PIC) or second-in-command in multi-engine turbo-prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof, including a minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command (PIC) in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof.
Note: PIC for this purpose is defined as Captain/Aircraft Commander of record, not simply the sole manipulator of the controls.

"Will HKG be offered up? Only Mgmt knows the answer...."

I highly doubt mgmt knows the answer to this.
They don't know much and certainly can't forecast a MOAB that includes HKG, CGN, F-18s in SYD and who knows what else.

Can anyone shed light as to what life may be like for the 200 lucky new-hires? Will you be a SO on the 727/WB for some time or will you make WB FO in a few years? I know HKG is still out there but undetermined yet.

Thanks,
