I work with a lot of military airline guys and, in my community, UPS pilots are scarce compared with other companies.
That's more of a breakdown of the dudes I know, rather than a breakdown of UPS's demographics.

But if you went from blk 30/40 to the Bone, at least you don't have to learn new engine ops limits.
Or am I just missing a comma after "background"?

Actually my full career was T-38 FAIP (ATC) F-16s (TAC) and B-1s (SAC in transition to TAC). So I have all three command patches on my retirement wall. Only missed MAC, but flying Fedex freight is close!

BH,
You flew from IAB I assume. I interviewed with you guys back in '98 for UPT and was selected for the BONE. Shortly there after got a shot to fly the Viper and couldn't pass it up. Were you on the board with Orson?
