I got hired with about 300 PIC turbine in a Convair. I still bet I only have 450 hours of PIC turbine to my name and I've been in the left seat in ONT for a year. Didn't know anybody at UPS, either, but got hired in 1990, back when UPS was hiring warm bodies and nobody wanted to work here.

Anyone in the biz less than 10 years probably doesn't know freight jobs were once looked down upon by the masses.
