UPS likes to hire the type that can say they were a check airman/IP at an 121 carrier while finishing their degree part time. Don’t want to “waste” your time? - Study something you’re interested in or that can help with a backup career. Also, we haven’t been taking many RJ guys over the last couple of years. Wide body international time is what you want to have.
