At FDX we have all kinds. Military guys tend to have fewer hours than straight civilian, so a simple hour by hour comparison is not helpful unless you know the background. You can read other posts to figure out what kind of hours you might need based on your chosen route to get an interview with FDX/UPS.

ONCE YOU HAVE THE BASIC EXPERIENCE THEN IT BOILS DOWN TO YOUR PERSONAL CONNECTIONS TO GET THE INTERVIEW!

I was an AF pilot for 10 years flying heavies and had 8 internal recommendations from folks I met during my total of 15 yrs in the AF. Everyone in my FDX class knew multiple pilots who actively lobbied flight management on their behalf.

Make good friends along your journey who are both senior and junior to you. The senior friends will help you get hired and you can help the junior friends get hired after you do. If all else fails at least you will have friends.
