The previous agreement had this
1. Bachelor’s degree ‐ Accredited School.
a) Education items that FedEx considers a bonus (but not a requirement) include:
I. Degree from a Forbe’s List school.
II. Graduated in five years or less
III. Attended less than three schools
IV. 2.75 GPA or better
2. One year experience in at least one area as a Check Airmen, Check Pilot, Evaluator or
Instructor.
3. Minimum of the past three consecutive years of uninterrupted service as an ATR Pilot in
Command with Mountain Air Cargo, Inc. (FAR Part 121)
4. Minimum of 1000 hours total Pilot in Command in airplanes and a minimum of 1500 hours’
total time in airplanes. (FAR Part 121)
Now a 2.5GPA is required, the three consecutive years part is gone, the reference to part 121 time is gone, and bullet #2 is gone. The bar is definitely lowered, and the interview is moved to the front of the line (previously you were just given more points.) It's the 121 wording going away that I find most surprising, and it may be useful to many people, if the final agreement is written the same as the memo.
