UPS Pilot Job
Good afternoon, I have a question in regards to becoming a Pilot for United Parcel Service. What kind of background do you need to qualify for a co-pilot slot? Do you need to work your way up flying the small Feeder planes? and if such what kind of path is recommended? I am currently flying single engine recip, commercial rated with IFR. Thanks.

UPS is a major. Along with FedEx it's one of the most desirable places to work for in the U.S. for many pilots.
So flight time wise you'd need something like:
ATP
3,000+ TT
1000 PIC twin turbine
If you have a 767 or a 777 type that's a huge plus.
I don't know anyone who went from a feeder operation or any 135 cargo carrier straight to UPS.

Another thing to consider is the very harsh environment that exists within the training department at Ameriflight towards new-hire pilots. There are some posts on this somewhere too.
