How long does it take UPS to let you know?

[capt. megadeth]

Hope we both get out of Mesaba hell soon before we have to go back to being first officers on a Saab!

Chris

Too good to fly a Saab eh?

 

[schmitty340]

I like the saab. It's the 60% pay cut going from Avro capt to Saab FO that hurts..(possibly Chris)

For me it's only about a 30% cut(SF Capt to SF FO).By DEC all pilots still at XJ will have been line holding Captains previously. On top of that, add the 20% pay cut management is trying to impose through the bankruptcy courts and you have the "Mesaba Hell" that Chris is talking about.

"Hope we both get out of Mesaba hell soon before we have to go back to being first officers on a Saab!

Chris"

I don't think any of us feel like we are to good to fly the Saab. It's more of the fact that we are disappointed in the direction our company has gone.

DANG! All pilots there will have been captains at some point? That sucks! I hear ya....I was just giving him crap. It sucks for you guys. Hopefully things will get better. Good luck with the UPS job....I take it you have not heard anything yet?

 

[schmitty340]

No problem...thats why I said something. We at XJ are just surprised how far the cuts are coming.

Still no word. Maybe next week.

Take Care

I'm trying to figure a few things out from this thread that you all may be able to help me out with. Are those waiting in the pool implying that if you don't get a "thanks but no thanks" letter in the mail a few days after the interview then there is a good chance you have passed the sim/interview? Has anyone gotten the rejection letter after a long wait or does it come relatively quickly? Can you give me some insight as to when it (rejection letter) should come (hopefully not at all). Thx

MF. The no thanks letter will usually be sent out earlier than the pool letter. That is usually the case but not always. So look at it like no news is probably good news. I have also heard of guys getting no thanks letters after 6 weeks and pool letters after a few days so don't bet the farm either way. Good luck!

Interviewed 2nd week of Aug, It's been over 5 weeks, no letter no call, nothing.. what's up?

 

[SAEaviator]

I tried to fill out the online app today and for some reason after I typed out my information, (name, phone, and email)checked yes to all of the boxes, and hit continue the next page said thanks for applying we are currently reviewing your application with others. The problem is that I never got a chance to fill out the app in the first place. I had a previous app in with the old system. Has anyone had any similar problems?

Wtf

When you guys say nothing heard from UPS in 5 weeks do you mean absolutely NOTHING? Not even an FAA notification of a records check? Not even your previous employers being contacted? Nothing that would give you a clue that they are at least looking into your background or verifying your records? NOTHING?! Hell I got an FAA notification that FDX requested my records and my employer got called AFTER I 'busted' the sim and wasn't invited back for day 2. (UPS sim went well, thanks) Hey Fred, your departments not talking to each other again? Felt like getting kicked twice, almost like they missed the left nut the first time. Nailed 'em both...

As far as I know, UPS won't do the FAA background check/PRIA checks until they call you for the medical. At least that was how it was for me.
