A little over 22 years ago, while in the first stages of transitioning from my ten year stint in the USAF, I heard about this "new" operation doing interviews from another pilot buddy, so I fired off (did we even have fax machines back then??) my resume to UPS. Of the ten airlines I applied to (no regionals), I interviewed at three, and got two job offers. I chose UPS, and the rest is history…
If I hadn't run into this old flying buddy, I never would've heard of UPS.
Network, network, network!
