Unsavoury as it may sound to some, recruiting known individuals can be an efficient method of yielding loyalty! On that basis I had half expected a few experienced DHL/EAT pilots to be selected to attend the first batch of interviews. To date though I have heard of only one - good luck to that man!

100% agree, he takes the guys he knows and he can rely on. Most of them are in positions with LTU for years, so it is an existing team, not unimportant for a start up.
Also as most of the guys are german, they are quite sure that they will stay and not just grap a 777 rating and leave after 2-3 years.

Why should they take non JAA? You need to have a JAA ticket latest after one year on a validation. However I am sure they will get enough pilots who are qualified with JAA tickets.

Come now children. Let us not allow our pathetic egos to let us lose sight of the question.
That was it there. There was neither hint nor allegation of who is allowed to do what in the EU vs. USA. A simple, straightforward question was asked regarding license requirements.
The answer to the question, minus all of your childish rants, might have gone something along these lines:
1. No. I have applied without a JAA license and have been turned down because of it.
Or,
2. Yes. My application is under consideration and I do not have a JAA license.
Simple, see. However, of course, it is never that simple in an industry so full of whining imbeciles and egotistical deadheads.
Are these okes taking non-JAA or what?

You asked about Fed Ex; here is the low down. Let's assume for the moment that the U.S. would accept the JAA license and would issue an FAA certificate; you still could not work for Fed Ex. All crews that are hired by Fed Ex are initially Memphis based crews and that would mean you would need to have a green card.
Take a look at part 61 of the FAA regs and you might find that you can take a written exam and pass a checkride in order to obtain a U.S. certificate.
