I came to the same conclusion. Something smells fishy. Teee heee:D

i didn't call you a name. unless you have a complex and interpret ****** as a name. insecure much?;)

If you knew who I was, you'd know I don't have a complex and certainly am not insecure. I guess an asterisk is something good then.

"Unless you are Bob Lekites son in law maybe or something like that."


That would be brother-in-law.
One of our management moles on the B&G. Hired in 97 (MIA dom) and can't wait to spew all the latest to the Dark Side.

As long as we are talking about UPS, I think we should include this.

Well, I hope I am the next UPS driver hired as a pilot! By the time I am eligible I will have invested 15 yrs with UPS from package handler, car wash, to driver. I spent 4 yrs prior to that as a controller in the Navy. Went to college while I was part timer with degree in Aviation. Only when I started making decent money driving did I start flying lessons. So I am flying the wings off my Cessna 150 aquiring ratings and taking a leap in 3 yrs at 37 to build twin turbine time. The problem is I have a wife and kids so I need decent pay during transition. I have a job waiting with a local frieght company but not great $$. I know it won't be 75K like I am use to as a driver but...my fellow pilot friends say it is a required step.

Open to suggestions.

I think that you are being too optimistic about the package handling time. As far as UPS promoting from within: I've been here 3 years and maybe have flown with one capt who used to drive trucks here, but it was unrelated to his hiring on as a pilot.

Get to the multi ASAP - when I filled out my app I noticed that none of my cessna time counts toward the mins. Single engine-non turbine-non jet.

What a great story you'll have when you make it to the top! I love hearing stories like yours - when its in your blood, its in your blood.

Good luck!

"but...my fellow pilot friends say it is a required step."

It is. I know a gateway manager with a CFI who can't take the pay cut. Amflight is a great way to go.
