I was having the same issue and finally got through it last night. On the initial page, put in a different email address than the one you originally used to apply with. Apparently everything is linked to your email address. I went and registered for a new address at hotmail, but it allowed me to use my original once the application was started.

Anyone know if any preference is given to dudes already living in Anchorage? It's starting to get cold up here....!

Congrats to everyone who just got the call!

I heard from a friend who just got hired and in the pool that they are doing away with the medical for now. Just the piss test. Apparently they need to get people through as fast as possible and another way for UPS to save some cash. BTW, he never got a yes letter either just a phone call saying he is now in the pool.

Save some cash? :laugh:

Not the mentality at UPS V-Stall on this type of thing. They give you ALL of your uniform, luggage, flight bag, paid medical (if you want their doc!) etc... not their motivation to pinch the pennies here, but a good thought.

What is occurring now is what was predicted by the IPA and everyone on the property ... the company holds off on hiring during contract negotiations, the spring continues to compress, and they are now well behind the airframe/pilot curves and in a bit of a pickle. They are attempting to open the hiring faucet but are constrained by an inadequately sized training department, lack of instructors/check airmen, lack of simulators, etc...

More sims have been purchased and leased, but it will take time to bring online. Meanwhile, all ONT recurrent trng will be held in MIA at a leased facility to offload SDF for new hires on the 757 ... they are buying back 100+ weeks of vacation in the next few months, are repeatedly calling the IPA seeking contractual relief to new scheduling constraints (new contract) which drives additional new hires and further aggravates an already precarious understaffed position ... one the company created.

Bottom line ... the guys in HR did not create the staffing shortage (Atlanta did) ... but they are doing their best to hire as many pilots as quickly as they can given the multiple constraints they're forced to operate within. It's a GREAT time to get hired by UPS and quickly put hundreds of guys behind you on the seniority list. Make sure your app is recent (after 1 Aug I believe, have 3 recs, and update often) ... oh and buy all UPS pilots you meet a beer! :beer:

Congratulations to all those recently hired and good luck to those waiting to get on property.

Here's what I've heard. The Oct 3rd class is still scheduled with 20 folks in it. There's an Oct 10th class of 10 folks (8 72 FE, 1 72 FO, 1 75 FO). And there's also a Nov 1st class of 20 folks (no idea on equipment).

What happened w/ the MD-11?

Here's what I've heard. The Oct 3rd class is still scheduled with 20 folks in it. There's an Oct 10th class of 10 folks (8 72 FE, 1 72 FO, 1 75 FO). And there's also a Nov 1st class of 20 folks (no idea on equipment).

Interesting that there isn't any talk of MD-11 folks? Although, from what I understand, the September class wasn't "slated" for any either -- they ended up putting 8 or so people through the -11 training last I heard.

Congrats to all!! Great news...
