I am about 3 yrs from the end of my obligation, and have a few questions. If UPS/FedEx are hiring then, I'm considering that route. Is it worth me going out of pocket for a 757/767 type? Just did the ATP, and the VA will pay for 60% of a type. From what I've been told, I should be ballpark on the resume with time and ground jobs, so will the type make a difference? Does the Masters Degree I'm working on at Embry Riddle help at all? Also, how does the cargo side differ from what I've heard is a mostly negative picture at the majors today? I've just heard that cargo "is where you want to be". Any info is much appreciated.

Thanks
