I second what 14 LEDS said. My class of 17 had just about all walks of aviation represented.

However, it seems that at UPS most of the hiring done from 1995 to 2001 was mostly military and mostly Air Force to be specific.

Seniority-wise, 1995 hires are mostly in the junior Capt ranks. However, up in Anchorage the Capt ranks are mostly in the 1997-1999 range with a few 2000-hires rounding out the list on the MD11. I'm not sure what the 747-400 Capt list looks like.

Finally, to get back to the thread, it is my own opinion based on the aircraft slated for delivery that in 2008, new hires will have to have oceanic experience. When the 767s arrive in 2009, applicants will be hired from a more general background.

Good Luck,
