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

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.

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.

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!

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