Another one I trained with was out of flying for over 2 years. She was a sales clerk at a Jeans store. So give me a break. Two totally different standards. We all know it.

I know for a fact that a girl from Commutair was hired there with Beech 1900 time as the biggest thing she had ever flown.

Minimum Requirements:
* Hold a current FAA First Class Medical Certificate
* Hold a current ATP certificate OR hold an ATP written with a commercial pilot airplane multiengine land certificate with instrument certificate
* Hold a current flight engineer written or current flight engineer certificate
* Have a minimum of 1500 hours of total fixed-wing pilot time
* Have a minimum of 1000 hours pilot in command (PIC) hours in fixed-
wing jet and/or fixed-wing multi-engine turboprop
Pilot in Command, per FAR 1.1, means the person who:
1. Has final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of the flight;
2. Has been designated as the pilot in command before or during the flight;
3. Holds the appropriate category, class, and type rating, if appropriate, for the conduct of the flight
* Hold an FCC restricted radiotelephone operator permit
* Hold a valid passport
* Four year degree from an accredited college or university is preferred.
* Have authorization to work in the United States
* Be at least twenty-one years of age
UPS is not hiring people with zero PIC time anymore. What do you think the mins should be? 4000 PIC in a heavy? I believe if you meet the mins, you're qualified. Be it 1000.1 or 10,000. My class had a wide range of backgrounds, Saab Capt., RJ Capt's, Fighters, Tankers, and heavy freight. Some classes have corporate as well.

Newbies come with no skeletons in the closet and the company is still trying to keep them happy. They realize that they have failed with so many of us, so why waste the capital?
Just a theory though
I'll happily take the ***** pay tomorrow, if they want to call me today!!
They'd better hurry, my face is turning blue from holdling my breath!!

We discussed this at the interview and it was not held against me in any way.
