What would you need for training if you wanted to become a pilot for a company like UPS?

minimum = all the usual commercial certificates, BS degree, 1500 hours total flight time, 1000 hours pilot in command of jet or multiengine turboprop
but don't bother as UPS isn't hiring and has no one retireing in 2008 - you would need to exceed the minimums above quite a bit to have any chance at all if they were hiring
after getting your commercial pilot licence the best route is get whatever freight job you can flying twin turboprops - most flight training is on the job experience just building up hours whenever and wherever you can - to fly the big commercial planes you must have most of your flight time in twin turbos - flying freight is a hard job and you better like flying a lot to do it - most small jobs are late night early morning hours, you usually load your own plan and you gotta be fast and on time - and usually you fly alone - you live on coffe and energy drinks
AddendumCollege degrees are not a requirement for pilot positions at most airlines, but like anything else, the more qualifications you have, the better your chances. The bottom line is, that if an airline is hiring and they need pilots, they will adjust their requirements downwards until their needs are met. When the market is flush with pilots, an airline can hold out for an astronaut with a PhD...Also, the foregoing answer is correct about flying fright...although things have changed a lot in the freight industry, cargo pilots used to have a saying that went, "Sun down, gear up. Sun up, gear down!"
