[QUOTE="rushfan, post: 395510, member: 1631"] One of the top 5 seniority pilots lives on my former delivery route (thank goodness for feeders). He started with Orion airlines-they flew UPS packages before UPS airlines was formed. Basically, he was at the right place at the right time. UPS didn't want to spend a lot to form their own airline from the ground up, so Orion was bought out. Now, he has top choice which routes to fly. Warmer climates in winter, cooler routes in the summer. As mentioned, Hours, Hours, and Hours in multi-engined, turbine aircraft-not piston powered Cessna 172. 4 year college degree, and Military service a plus. UPS has a quota each year how many pilots are needed. Each qualified candidate is put into a hiring pool. Basically, a lottery drawing. If fate drew me a wining card, I would rather be flying a G-5, Global Express, or Falcon 7X around the world-than an Airbus or Boeing full of packages.
