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

Good job.

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!!

He's probably going to go down to the Castro district and brag about the 20 grand he made one month.

Mark, you get banned from FI?

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.
