Transoceanic Experience for FDX/UPS
 
I was wondering how you guys at FDX and UPS got your Transoceanic Crossing Experience. Not sure how to acquire this minimum flying an RJ.:confused:

Thanks

I got mine at UPS. Not being a smart ass, just pointing out the hole in their argument

You have to apply elsewhere first
 
Unfortunately, if you goal is to work for UPS or FedEx, you’ll have to take the leap to another company in the mid-term. Southern Air, or similar cargo types, will hire direct entry FOs on the classic. For myself, I’m waiting to hear if UPS will call on this last window – I flew for a Legacy carrier in the US, and now I’m in Asia flying wide-bodies.

We all need a bit of good luck !!!

No they haven't. Still trying to figure out LOA/FDA and waiting system wide bid. At least thats what I am being told. However, everyone I talk to says they will have to hire soon, but who knows. Waiting is pretty brutal.:(

Thanks for the info guys. I still have two years of college left so I wont be sending resumes any time soon but FDX/UPS seems like a good goal to shoot for.
