Yep.

Have you heard one way or the other yet?

Nope.

Actually it's been about a week and a half for me. At the interview, I was told that I would hear something in 4 weeks.

I interviewed 2 1/2 weeks ago also. No call, no e-mail, no letter, no nothing. Still biting my nails. Is it true that UPS will hire 600+ pilots in 2007? Hang in there folks, our time will come.

I don't feel quite so bad now...

I don't know if they can handle 600/year in their training department. I've heard about 350. But that's still about a 15% increase in the roster.

I have interviewed with UPS and received my pool letter within 4 days but, I have been waiting for a call for 5 1/2 weeks for a class date!

When's the next class date?

I have a friend that interviewed on Oct 24, received the dreaded rejection letter on the 31st, it was dated the 27th. Pretty quick decision, he must have really F'd something up for them to decide so quickly. It said, "others more closely fit their business needs". Wow, that surely helps him try to improve his week area(s)! Do they mean "the Others" from Lost?

Stats:
- Military heavy driver w/Int'l experience
- TT: 3400ish
- Heavy ME Turbine PIC: 1700ish
- Ability to fly a 767 SIM or interview successfully: apparently NOT

IMO, if you haven't been rejected within a week, you're probably on track to getting a pool letter. The only thing that can harm you now is the background/reference check.

Good luck guys and gals.

Yikes! I've never heard of anyone getting a rejection letter that fast. Sorry to hear the bad news, but at least UPS didn't string him along for 4 or 5 weeks, then drop a bomb on him.

I think they mentioned in the interview that if you were unsuccessful this time, you could re-apply in 6 months (anybody correct me if I'm wrong out there).

And the dreaded wait continues..........

I was told in the interview that if I was unsuccessful, I could reapply after Jan 1st. (I interviewed first week in Nov).

ps. I haven't heard anything either.

Mind sharing what your times were? How much PIC do you have in the 747?

 

[PFTEXPJET]

I would be grateful if everyone that interviewed would go to aviation interview.com and submit a gouge. Thank you.

I have around 7000TT with 2200 heavy, 600 DC-10 and 1600 MD-11 (all international). Unfortunately only 700 of the required 1000 hours Turbine PIC. is there any way around the turbine pic requirement?

Thanks,
