Military TPIC Time
I'm a retired MIL pilot but have slightly less than 1000 TPIC since I started my career outside the cockpit. Does anyone know if FedEx counts sortie conversions to get past that magic 1000 hour mark?
If I use .2 per sortie, I'm at just over 1000 and if I use .3 I'm closer to 1100. I'm flying in the regionals now building more hours and currency, but it'll be a bit before I can upgrade and log more PIC time.
Appreciate it!

I'm interested in this question too. I've got about 2000 turbine PIC but 800 of that is single engine not multi (F-16). Adding 0.2 or 0.3 per sortie would get me closer to the "1500 multi turbine PIC" requirement.

I know the T-6 issue has been settled and it doesn't count. I wasn't aware that any airline was splitting hairs on F-16 PIC time and not counting that because it's single engine. Are you sure that's the case with FedEx?

I think FedEx makes some kind of conversion for mil hours, but I think it's done after you put in your uncorrected information. There isn't an option to choose .2 or .3 and do it yourself.

"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 (GTOW 12,500). A minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof (GTOW 12,500 or greater) is preferred.
Does this mean all turbo-prop time and jet time must be multi-engine?
Or does it mean "multi-engine turbo-prop time" AND/OR "[any] jet time"?

No idea but you can't be the first F-16 pilot with these questions. There's got to be someone associated with this process at FedEx who can answer those questions. We've hired plenty of pure F-16 drivers who probably didn't have to go out and get 1500 hours of multi-engine PIC time to make that happen.

This isn't an original question. FedEx has hired plenty of A4, A7, & F8 drivers. I personally know 2 FedEx Captains that were hired directly from T38 FAP jobs (and that was the biggest thing they'd ever flown).
Surely someone out there cab answer this easy question?

I don't know for sure. I'm just going off the FedEx Pilot Credentials website. It specifically reads:
"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 (GTOW 12,500). A minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof (GTOW 12,500 or greater) is preferred.
Does this mean all turbo-prop time and jet time must be multi-engine?
Or does it mean "multi-engine turbo-prop time" AND/OR "[any] jet time"?

My crash pad roommate is a viper driver. Pretty sure the talon and the viper were his only experience? Either way, the requirement is satisfied by the viper; the preferred must make room for allowances.
