Air Cargo Carriers and UPS Flowthrough

[cherry20's]

Its not gonna happen, sorry fellas.

I only said they should be given a shot at an interview with UPS not flow-though. There are only a few pilots that I personally know at ACC that would not fit into the UPS pilot group.

I know plenty of pilots (most of whom don't work at ACC) who "should be given a shot at an interview with UPS," as well. That doesn't mean jack, however.

UPS has their hiring system, and it doesn't include preferential anything for ACC, Airnet, Cherry Air, AmeriJet, etc, etc, etc... It does sound as if some overzealous, unscrupulous management types floated this one to keep people from jumpin' ship. I've seen it at all sorts of different places.

Doesn't mean these pilots at these places don't deserve a shot, but as momma says, the world just ain't fair, kid. Get used to it.

I really do not understand why all the flap about this, Feeder pilots get the move to FedEx, heck, most of the current FedEx group are ex-Feeder guys

Zuh?

The flap is that I and several others I know have talked to UPS recruiters/captains at UPS in the past year and they're serious about the "trans-oceanic heavy time." They are hiring people into the Anchorage base to fly trans-pacific.

I didn't think ACC did trans-oceanic.

Most?
Just curious where you got that statistic? I'm not sure that it is accurate.

Seen on an Army National Guard C-23 squadron (troop?) sticker: "Give us a call, we'll come in our Shorts!":laugh:

Apparently FedEx doesn't screen for a sense of humor.

Doh!!!

I hope ACC and UPS don't have anything in common. How'd you like to show up to a UPS interview and fly a BE-58 on MS Flight Sim 2004 while being told by the training manager to "hold northwest on the 270 radial" only to be thrown out of the pool because you made left hand turns.

"Uh I meant west. But you should know ATC doesn't issue left turns that way."

Well then, why'd you f'ing say it?!

 

[OzBushWhacker]

McJohnny. One would have thought you would have gotten over your sim 'session' by now. Good heavens!

If UPS did do a sim check in a MS Flight sim 2k box thing trust me you would do what ever you have to pass. They are the employer they can tell you to spin around in circles and try to pin the tail on the donkey if they wish! Repeat after me... they are the hirer, you are the hiree

 

[Boris Badenov]

Is it April 1st again? Already?

Sad isn't it.

Cherry 20, how's the retirement plan coming at Cherry air inc.?

Its going good, got lots of stock and doubled my 401k since they started matching 100%. haha! Seriously though, everyone just got a raise that we were fighting for on Monday, and I got another one coming soon. Its going good enough that I turned down a 747 job to wait on those beautiful canyon blue birds!

By the way, get a life ******************************bag!
