It's such a shame we don't take a better care of our own employees who'd like to become pilots...
Some things never change.
From a manager when UPS was starting the airline, as told to me by a Captain who was there ...
"What do you mean you need water onboard the aircraft. If we start catering water on the flights, next thing you guys will start crying for ICE. We can't have that ... "
Some of this stuff would be funny, if it wasn't true.
But I digress ...
When the hiring doors open, I hope UPSer finds a key to unlock the system. I don't think the total times should be a problem.
My times were similar to Archie Bunkers, without any military experience. All PIC (1500 hours) was Dash 8 turbo prop. Followed by years of 121 SIC jet ops ... FWIW. UPSer's times should work. At least they have in the past.
