Ever get any more information on this? This is the route I'm planning on taking. I spoke with a recruiter today and after a year of service you can apply to transfer to positions you're qualified for and you'll be considered before an outside hire. I'd like to speak with someone who's done it but that sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Is that still a thing? Can someone take a part time position in some capacity and use that to get an internal track to an interview? Also, does anyone know if past employment as a driver can provide any benefit in being selected to interview (assuming the pilot has competitive quals)?
