Last question: how can I better my chances to get picked up? I have only flown the KC135. Would you recommend trying to get hired by a smaller company just to get an MD80 rating (I know that's kind of crappy, but this IS capitalism, and I want to be more marketable...)
2 observations. 1st FedEx does seem to add Favour to hiring ex-military, 2nd the MD-95 (B717) has just about the same avionics package as the converted MD-10. The future of Fedex is an airline operating B777,B767,B757 aircraft. As a new and Junior pilot the spot is flying sideways on the B727 from my observation.
