If you want to fly, who cares if it's here or not? You get no credit for past service. Get your qualifications, apply wherever, and be a pilot.
Have same experience. Flown with recent new hires who had previously worked at UPS. Definitely interns get hired as line pilots after going out and getting experience. Have zero idea what the rate of success is as few have any visibility on that data. Guessing some choose to work elsewhere as a pilot anyway.
