UPS is the only place I’ve applied.
June 2017:
First Application
6300 TT / 3300 TPIC (which was about 600 less than my actual time but had no way of recovering that from our company system - long story, but since I can’t prove it, I don’t log it)
Special Issuance medical (nothing major, but battled and beat cancer. Clean diagnosis)
1 internal recommend.
Green Check mark.
Attended OBAP...

I'm 100% confident that being able to sit down at a job fair and explain to a retired captain how we're not a bunch of cowboys in corporate aviation is what got me noticed. For those of you corp guys trying to get on, I can't recommend enough attending one and making sure you use words they know like FOQA, ASAP, SOP's, etc that they don't seem to understand exist in the corporate world unless you remind them.
