No kidding. When I was 16 years old, I wish I had this kind of forum to research airline jobs.

Good job.

Having said that though, I would have to tell you that getting on with FedEx or UPS takes pretty much as much (if not more these days) experience, luck, networking, who you know, etc. etc. as getting on with a "major". Basically, going to FedEx or UPS as a substitute to a regional doesn't do you much good because if you can get on with FedEx or UPS, you are past the regional stage of the game. Am I making sense?

If I was at Fed Ex or UPS I would not be leaving!!

I am simply a curious 16 year old, airline pilot wanna-be that is curious if starting in the right seat of a cargo jet could result in the cockpit of a major rather than the right seat of a regional. Thanks everyone!
ElBow,

Whatever you do, DO NOT get a degree in aviation. They are absolutely worthless and the airlines DO NOT care what your degree is in. Get your flight training at the local airport and work on a degree that will afford you great employment opportunities in the event of a furlough and/or something that you can use to earn extra income while on days off. Stay away from the aviation universities.
