Possible fringe benefit of a regional would be showing that you can cheerfully sling gear for a civilian despite having been a senior officer in a past life.
UPS/FDX would prefer international heavy time or fighter time, if they prefer anything. FDX is more into fighter guys.
While FDX likes the international heavy time (C17/KC10/Atlas) they are putting increasing preference on the regional pilots. I spoke with the System Chief Pilot back in January and he said as much as they are easy to train. The point system used has been changed to increase the score for RJ captains and especially check airman. Right now it seems to be a 50/50 split military/civilian.
