I met a couple of senior airline captains today and was discussing the aviation world. I told them that I just got hired by a regional and I wanted to fly cargo with UPS or Fedex someday. They both adamantly suggested I submit my applications immediately. I thought this was odd since I haven't even started at the regional. I was wondering what everyone here thinks of this. Is it something I should do? I can't see how it would hurt.

Thanks!
