But there are so many schools that offer on-line degrees. You can work while attending school. I think your dedication to the company, and then flying and earning your degree, you'll show them your intent. <br /><br />Student loans and grants for college can make that happen. I hope it works for you. You could get a 4 year degree in three years. The timing for being a pilot today is great. <br /><br />The current retirement rate is phenomenal.

I must admit that being my first time to attend I was quite taken aback with the positive response by all who attended. We were very busy at our booth and I am afraid we didn’t get to spend enough time with everyone. After reading your blog, I see that is the case as there are still questions left unanswered. I read through the blog and here are the answers I came up with. I hope it helps.<br /><br />Take care and fly safe,<br /><br />Jim G<br /><br /><br /><br />Any chance FedEx would hire non-Americans for their European operations?<br /><br />It’s not a matter of not being an American. Part of our minimum requirements are:<br /><br /> Eligibility for rapid visa issuance, issued by offices in the United States to fly to any FedEx destination.<br /><br /> This position requires clearance from United States Postal Service including a FBI fingerprint check<br /><br /> Candidates for jobs involving handling or access to U.S. mail cannot be considered for employment if they have resided outside the U.S., Guam or Puerto Rico for more than (6) six months during the last (5) years prior to today's date, other than the following verifiable exceptions: active duty in the U.S. Uniformed Service; trailing spouse or dependent of someone working for the U.S. government (military or civilian); missionary; student attending school in a foreign country; Peace Corps participant; employee of a U.S. based employer/company or other extraordinary circumstances. <br /><br /> Eligibility for issuance of US Security Clearance<br /><br /> All certificates and ratings required to be U.S.A. FAA issued<br /><br />Does FedEx hire licensed Engineer?<br /><br />We do not hire professional Flight Engineers<br /><br />Flight Engineer Certificate or written is not required to apply<br /><br /> Current FE Turbojet Rating or written (FEX or Basic/turbojet) taken within previous 18 months only applicable to candidates notified and offered a BI class that may include B727 Second officer positions. <br /><br />Where can I find the minimum requirement?<br /><br />www.Pilotcredentials.comKarlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-68277150851615187922012-04-05T07:53:54.899-07:002012-04-05T07:53:54.899-07:00Thanks for the tips and I think I have alot work t...Thanks for the tips and I think I have alot work to do,so I think I need to start that process,see youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-89001536430624870992012-04-04T12:00:47.011-07:002012-04-04T12:00:47.011-07:00I think that this is your responsibility to determ...I think that this is your responsibility to determine if you can work in the US.
