not to burst your bubble, but UPS is extremely competitive. So if you get the UPS one, then you should diff go there. You can use all of the help you can get to get your foot in the door at UPS, since majority want to work at UPS or FDX. Have you looked at SWA also???

yeah, I am doing the Aeronautical-Science degree. Did almost the whole 4 years in 2+1/2. So i am a little behind on the flying. Plus, I have gotten what we call the Riddle-runaround a few times which has also slowed down flying.

I know UPS is competitive, and that is where I would like to end up some day. I just don't know if i can do a year long internship, especially when everyone says it doesn't get you anywhere any faster. Southwest is great also, although they have higher mins. I also don't know if i want to be stuck flying 73's forever.

Actually, I just added up my logbook, i thought I had more than i do. I have 156.4 to be exact. I am under part 142, so i know the required minimums are different. Plus so far I have done everything right at the minimums. I actually had to do some extra flights before i could take my instrument rating because i didn't have enough hours.

Seems to me that ERAU doing instruction under 142 they are creating more work to be done when it comes to things such as curriculum development since there are no set guidelines in part 142. To each their own I guess. UND is 141, I just graduated from there in August and instructed there during my last year in school.
