Don’t go buy a 747 type, it would be useless without experience.
I would agree... I don't have anything near a 747 type (or a 757/767/A-300/MD-11) and I have a class date.
I would consider going to Atlas/Omni/ATI/Kalitta/National/Whoever if you want to get into something bigger and have a better chance with UPS if it fits your lifestyle. It can't hurt.
From my experience, and from other I know at UPS, they like pilots from all varied backgrounds and no one really knows the secret sauce to the science.
