Perhaps not at UPS, but at FedEx there have been a number of pilots who started out with the company as handlers or truck drivers, and who have had very successful careers here. By the way, what exactly is the definition of a "successful pilot" at UPS? As far as I'm concerned, it's a guy who goes through his career without any real issues, such as damaging an aircraft, or standing alone in the chief pilot's conference room at the far end of the long table, while trying to explain why he's there in the first place.
