Default Corporate to 121 Cargo

Would a 121 Cargo Major like UPS hire pilots with only corporate experience?
I have 1000+ Pic Turbine in midsize to small corporate jets/ turboprops.

I have heard some conflicting info on the street about weight limitations.

Thanks in advance.

I do not know about UPS, but at FedEx 1000 PIC in a jet or turboprop meets the mins. If you flew multi-recip there is a weight limit of about 25,000lbs to count. Hope that helps.

Fedex requirements from websight.
# 1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in-command (PIC) or second-in-command in multi-engine turbo-prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof, including a minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof.
Note: PIC for this purpose is defined as Captain/Aircraft Commander of record, not simply the sole manipulator of the controls.
Note: FedEx considers only pilot time in fixed wing aircraft toward minimum qualifications. This does not include simulator, helicopter, flight engineer, bombardier, navigator, RIO, EWO, WSO, NFO, or Special Crew.

If those two dinosaurs are "turbo-prop", then Yes.

They used to list the weight requirement for the "heavy" recips, like I said it was about 25K and I assume it was for guys like you with the heavy recip time. I did not see it in Fedups posting but look into it if you are trying to apply !
