Here's my advice for the quickest way:Originally Posted by jrmatthe
Im a new poster on here. I'm going to be entering flight school (PPL) with aspirations of eventually flying for UPS. Whats the best/fastest way to get to UPS? I've read through the UPS Fight Path options, but I dont qualify for path 1. For path 2, I've been watching job postings at Ameriflight, but it looks like you cant even get an FO job at Ameriflight with less than 1500TT. Not to mention there don't seem to be any FO jobs available. So how can I get to UPS? Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
1. Flight Instruct (especially CFII) 1000 hours
2. Part 135 Turbine Captain (Ameriflight, Alpine Air, etc.) 1000 hours minimum
3. Wide Body International
4. Keep applying, make UPS pilot friends, and hope for the best
Do not wish your time by and enjoy every step of the way
Also do not turn down other job offers like Delta or United because you have tunnel vision for UPS, those are great jobs with great benefits. You can always go to UPS later.
Good luck on your goal!
