UPS, before the ANC domicle, would hire from a wide variety of backgrounds, to include corporate and 135 turbine. I think those guys had as good a chance as a 121 freight guy. Things changed with the ANC domicle, though, and they started really favoring over water as ANC is a junior base.
I don't see why a 135 guy years of G4 experience wouldn't equal a 121 RJ Capt with the same.
I was just making a factual statement regarding my professional experience. Not making a judgment on whether the policies that created the observation were necessarily logical or fair. Also I should have clarified that I was talking about major pax airlines. I actually do know a few major cargo guys that came solely from 135.
