Of course that made me just as giddy as kid in a candy store, however I was told that in 99% of the cases when it comes to hiring at that level, it's not so much as "how much time and experience do you have", that's important; but "Can I live & get along with this person for the next month while flying with them." This is straight from the mouths of two freightdawgs that have a combined total experience of 40 years. One's at FedEx and the other UPS. Being able to assimilate one's self into a corporate culture is important; very important.
