When I spoke with a UPS recruiter a couple years ago, I had 6500 hours, 1000tpic, and 2000 hours of 747 time. He looked me dead in the eye and said I wasn't close to competitive and to come back in three years. I'd have loved the opportunity to work at UPS, but since have gotten hired at a different major.

That said, from friends who work there, it seems the qualifications to be competitive are coming down. I know at least three guys who were pure regional. They did, however, have about 8000 hours. I believe the average UPS new hire age is still over 40. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was like 44.
