UPS Pilot Arrested in ATL for child rape
I got your sarcasm. Wasn't funny. Yes, he was a UPS pilot. No, he is not one of us. He is a sick, twisted individual that has preyed upon innocent young kids. 99.99999% of UPS pilots are good people. He is that 0.00001% that is not. We, as a group, are not defined by him. He does not... -
UPS Pilot Arrested in ATL for child rape
No, no PFT discussion. Last time I checked, UPS was a major airline. Who cares which forum it is in? Are you the forum police, subsidiary of the spelling police? Back to the discussion at hand... -
UPS Pilot Arrested in ATL for child rape
He was there on recurrent training most likely. We have been using DAL sims for the MD11. -
No hiring at UPS
That is a rumor floating around right now. The training dept. is maxed out right now with pilots switching fleets. Problems with the MD11 sim are not helping matters. There may be some small classes still this year, but only HR knows the answer to this. I personally believe this is just a... -
Where to live if MDW based...
I've lived in chicago all my life, from the actual city to the 'burbs. Myself, I like the suburban living. From raising children, that is just my preference. As for 'burbs to look at, my recs are: Geneva, St. Charles, Naperville, Barrington, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Vernon Hills... -

How many in the UPS pool?
Oh no, another one! Hang in, there! (I know, easier said than done.) -
How many in the UPS pool?
I've met a couple of folks, but the -8 keeps me on the nap schedule during the sort. I'm sure we have crossed paths in the zombie-like march out to the crew vans outbound from the sort. :D Just look for a goofy lookin' guy, tie undone, big-a$$ coffee in my hand, and that's me! -
How many in the UPS pool?
Chris, Long time no talk. I'm so sorry to hear that you are STILL waiting. I thought you were already in since I haven't heard from you. Hang in there, bro! -
How long is the wait in the UPS pool?
Congrats on getting the letter! To answer your question, the wait can be as short as 1 week to as long as indefinite. Some folks get real lucky and get called right away, but there are those that are still swimming from 2005. It totally sucks, but that is what we have in place. Good luck to you! -
FTI for 737 type: Denver or Las Vegas?
I second what CB said. I did my type back in 2002 with FTI. They only had DEN at the time, but it was one of the most pleasant experiences that I've had when it comes to training. I stayed at the Radisson, but that is no big deal. Whoever gives you the best price is the way to go. I highly... -

Midwest to make announcement today about future plans
Don't you just love the way that Timmy and crew can make something so old sound new and revolutionary? I mean come on, it's just first class/coach configuration, for pete's sake! The ship continues to sink... -

UPS Classes
No thanks, at least not yet. If I eventually bid that way, I would like for things to shake out a bit more. Too much uncertainty... :D -

UPS Classes
That is one of the things that I don't understand. I see what you are saying, about the IRO lines and all, but I guess confusion overcomes me again. I thought that a lot of the SDF flying was going to be changed to ANC, thus the small SDF base. Does anybody know the proposed numbers out of... -
UPS Classes
Hey Delta, Don't feel bad about not knowing what to do. I've been here a bit longer, and I don't know what will happen to me, as well. I think there are a lot of us that are smack dab in the middle of this bid. As to what fleets are in play/not in play, all I can say is this: bid what... -
UPS Classes
It depends on fleet and which reserve period you get. Examle: I'm on the -8, been here just under 2 years, sit almost exclusively the 12am to 12pm reserve, and as an FE, I only worked (on average) 1-2 days a week. That was because we were overstaffed on the panel. As an FO, I have been... -

What a stupid thread. You have to get a life. There are bigger things to worry about than this. -
Should my buddy leave CAL for UPS?
I'm beginning to think that these posts are pure flamebait, but, I will get sucked into this anyway. My view: Who gives a crap? I truly hate these types of threads. Every person has to make a choice and stick with it. UPS is not for everyone, and CAL is not for everyone. He is a grown-up... -
