However, my mil pilot brethren seem to think I have a pretty good connection. Thoughts?

Also, I can't be hired by UPS until they retire and could that effect the recommendation?

Thanks, Happy Holidays.
It certainly couldn't hurt to have a relative high up the food chain at Brown. It doesn't matter if that relative is a pilot or a boxhead. A recommendation in the system is a good thing.

As far as the nepotism rule goes...I thought UPS did away with that rule a couple of years ago. Can any other Brown guys chime in here on this?
