Generally, only newhires with heavy jet experience get assigned the 747...folks coming from a regional typiically get A300 or 757.

Newhire transition freeze is 18 months, if you get hired and assigned a light twin you can bid the whale after the seat lock is up. You'd likely have no issues holding it in ANC, SDF might take longer.

If you want to come to UPS...make sure you get AT LEAST 1000 multi-turbine PIC and checking a box like Sim Instructor and/or Line Check Airman would help.

I would highly recommend getting 1000TPIC as quickly as possible and then going to Atlas or Kalitta and getting heavy time. Does UPS hire RJ drivers? Certainly but it is the exception. I came to UPS straight from a regional. But the majority are from ACMI and the Military. If UPS is the goal, get that TPIC, start applying and networking immediately and while doing that improve that resume with a heavy type and some crossings. Then you will hold 74 as a new hire. Best of Luck. Enjoy the ride.

Five months of silence, then Application went inactive. A few days later, the TBNT email.

That's how it went for me. Looking forward to next year's window!

Hello everyone!
I am currently a new FO at a regional, and I have an important decision to make right now... I could really use your advice!

#1. Stay at my regional and upgrade to build TPIC time as soon as possible.
#2. I have a class date with Amerijet (767 cargo out of Miami). Go now and build widebody-international flying experience.

Upgrade times are currently the same - as soon as I get 1000 121 hrs. The only difference is that I will have to go through 4 months of training at Amerijet - so my upgrade would be delayed by 4 months when compared to staying at regional.

Should I prioritize getting the TPIC as soon as possible in CRJ or take some delays in training and get 767 time?

If it were me I would take the 767 gig as it will give you that additional relevant experience in a big jet. If you decided to stay at the regional you would want to become an instructor or other qualification to add to your resume to better stand out.

That depends on your goals for your career. If you’re all in on ups/FedEx, go to Amerijet. If you want a major or the first job to come along, stay put and get the PIC.

You may want to ask the Amerijet guys on this forum how many hours they are averaging annually. At a regional you could hit 1000 hours in the first year after you complete OE, that probably won’t happen there. As far as I know UPS still wants 1000 TPIC. UPS also loves ACMI guys since they already have proven they can do the flying we do. Great place to be at the start of your career. Enjoy your career!

Do the flying you enjoy. Where would you rather be if you don’t get the brass ring?
