Which airlines do not count your UPT time?

For another frame of reference. I know a 4 ship flight lead, no IP/EP time, w/ ~900 fighter hours, who was picked up by UAL. He did have some regional time and I think his TT was ~2,500. My squadron had 2 guys hired at DAL recently, both young majors, with ~1,800 single seat fighter hours (no civilian time). All three of these guys had STRONG connections. Bottom line, if you meet the mins, it's more about who you know!
