Lots of my Navy buddies used the Fedex route to build time waiting for the airlines to start hiring. A few, though not a lot, decided to stay put when the tide finally did turn at aerobusdriver inc. The down side was you had to go live in Memphis, which probably isn't such a bad deal unless you are a bachelor addicted to single San Diego surfer girls and Miramar happy hours. I don't know if that's still the case but I do know UPS pilots mainly fly out of Louisville so that hasn't changed. Memphis or Louisville, take your pick.
Two of the best fighter pilots I personally knew went to Flying Tiger Air, flying cargo out of Long Beach and made a career out of it. You might want to look into other air freight outfits as well if you think that would appeal to you.
Personally, the airline thing never appealed but I could definitely handle air cargo. Seems to me it would be a lot better for family life but then, I really don't know.
