"Now, once you are interviewed I would seek out anyone you know here and butter them up with everything available."

The meaning is exactly as stated. If you have any friends who work for UPS ask them for any help possible. Take them out to dinner,etc. Best wishes.

Ok i'll do it thanks!
 
Hey SGU,

You don't have to copy the ENTIRE :rolleyes: message to respond.
 
heavyjetpilot - You are a UPS Capt and would allow some Embraer FO to pick up your Denny's tab for a rec? WTF over?

I guess with a quote like this I can see why you are still a Embraer F/O, but never the less you completely misunderstood my point. Currently UPS has over 8000 resumes on file. You can imagine how many more will be received now that hiring has been announced. Don't you think it would be wise to put forth a little effort to ensure your resume is put to the top if possible. In the 15+ years at UPS I have gotten 4 guys hired. Bad odds for my close friends but that's all that made it through. Not one ever bought me that meal they promised once they were hired and you know what it doesn't really matter. I am just glad they realized their dream just like I did.
Now as for the Denny's tab. I make it a rule for me as Captain to buy all the first meals no matter where we eat and usually all others. If there is ever a probation pilot around it's always compted. They struggle enough without wasting money for a dinner. So mister in the future be careful who you bash on this chat room sitting behind a keyboard. It might just be the fellow who buys your next round. Best wishes and thanks for my next jumpseat. It's always appreciated.
Cheers,
A-300 Capt.

REMEMBER ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
 
I think what the Capt is saying is to simply say "THANKS" to whoever gives you a rec. I had 2 letters when I was hired and I sent each person a nice gift with a thank you card and still keep in touch them. On the other hand, I gave a rec and that person was also hired. Here's the difference:

Before rec=Best of friends, would sell his mom and send me the money
After rec and class date=Never heard from again

Obviously common and professional courtesy applies.

On the subject of first year pay, bottom line it s#ks. Eveyone here knows that and without question they take good care of the probation guys. (at least that was my experience) I plumbed on the whale and typically on 10-12 day pac rim trip I would spend about $100 but would eat and drink like a king.
 
I'm still buying drinks for my friend who helped me out. He wouldn't let me pick up the tab for drinks or a nice dinner when I was on probation, but I still made the offer anyway. After probation, he let me and I had and still have no problem saying thank-you to this day. HeavyJet was right, ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING.
