2. Whoa, buddy... One step at a time! FedEx does not hire pilots straight out of college unless you have accumulated thousands of hours of flight time before going to college. FedEx isn't an entry level flight job. It's actually one of the most sought-after jobs in the industry, so there's always fierce competition to fill any empty seats. $100,000 a year is not the starting pay... Starting pay is actually about half that... but most people are making $100,000+ within a few years. That's not the norm in the industry, but that's why so many pilots want to work there.
3. Above $500,000
