UPS to hire

[ QUOTE ]
This is exciting - by working for a carrier like UPS will it increase my chances to fly airliners for a major airline??

UPS is a major airline. Why would you want to leave it if you got hired there?!
 
Bog - notice all the smilies - you know 15 years ago people would leave UPS by the dozen to fly for AA, UAL, etc - we also had some kid ask this a while ago. The only thing most people will leave UPS for is to fly the NASA space shuttle.

Nope, too dangerous and I'd have to take a hellava pay cut.

I'm sure those 100 new hires will come from a pool of people who have been swimming for many years in the brown water.

Hmm, shows what 3 hours of sleep and 12 hours of ready reserve will do to you. My bad.

I do know of one of our old Beech drivers who got hired by UPS into the 75/76 in '99, then hired by AA in '00, so he went. Methinks he's wishing he'd stayed at Big Brown...
 
I got hired in Feb 90. Lot's of hiring going on back then, both at UPS and other majors. I think we had about 1000 pilots. (2500 now). We had about 40 in the indoc class. I remember one guy who went back to his corporate job within a week. Before indoc was over we lost at least one to United, American, and Southwest. Later, just out of my 727 class, we lost one to America West and one to United. Within the first six months, the youngest guy in the class, who, all he ever wanted was to work for USair, got fired for no showing two trips. He had a bad attitude about the place, anyway....

Back in those days, the most coveted jobs were the big three. In my view, DL was the toughest one to get on with. I wanted to work for Alaska or United. Probably could have gone to either one after a couple of years at UPS but, with the explosive growth, saw the wisdom in staying.
 
I heard from a poolie that they flushed and are starting new. He was "hired" in early 2001 and recently contacted HR to update his info and inquire about a class date, but was told that there was no pool and that he could resubmit his qualifications via the website.
