UPS and Fedex have historically not hired many of their feeder pilots.
Quality of life will probably be better at the Regionals too. Feeder pilots only fly around 500-600 hours per year, but the problem is the long duty hours and all the time that you spend away from home. With the airlines, you get a 2 week on, 2 week off schedule so you can have more of a life.
