[QUOTE="stepheng101, post: 246943, member: 11323"] To be a UPS pilot you typically run the same process as you would to get hired by any other airline or freighter, you wait until you meet the minimum hour requirements (which are 1500 TT) and hold a PPL, IR, Comm., and eventually ATP (to move to captain). Since we are talking about a highly skill-based job, whether or not you get the job is not contingent on your seniority status perse. UPS is known for liking to hire from within so if you have worked at UPS for some time they will definitely take that into account, but if you don't have the ratings or the hour minimums then do not apply yet. The reality of the matter is that you'll probably need to find another lower level flying job before you could move into flying for UPS because of the 1500 hour minimum. Stuff like parachute piloting, scenic piloting, banner towing, charter flying, flight instruction (if you are a CFI), or even lower level airlines, there are some airlines hiring are really freakishly low hours. American Eagle is hiring right out of training, same goes for ComAir, you'll probably get a lot of time in something like a 1900. [/QUOTE]
