Second UPS class for Aug

[ForgedBlade]

Probably a dumb questions for you guys, but is an internal connection the ONLY way to get in the door? I sure miss flying the 757...

Forged,

Yes, you do need an internal rec. to get an interview. Everyone interviewing has at least one. In terms of who to get one from, it seem that a management rec. is the best, next followed by a fellow pilot. I'm not sure if a package car driver rec. would work or not. I've heard that it won't. If you do a search of posts from 3-4 months ago, there is some really good info out there. We really dissected alot of stuff. Good luck!

Update and bump:

A good buddy of mine got the official word today for a 29 August class.

Nine people in the class, all going to the A-300.

Good luck everyone!

I got the call this morning, and it's a class of 9 total, all A300 FO. Needless to say, I'm very excited and feel really blessed for the opportunity.

Good luck to everyone else still waiting.

OK

I heard the A300 is a POS.

yeah but the UPS paygrades and job security that come with it are not

Well the Airbus can't make it to 410. Way to go Dude, you made the enormous jump from 1900 to CRJ. You do not have the right to call an airplane that burns more gas to TOC than the all-up weight of the one you are currently flying, a POS.

I heard that people that don't know what they are talking about shouldn't open their yap.

Why would you say that I don't know what I'm talking about? Have you flown an A-300 to personally know that it's NOT a POS? I've talked to some UPS and FedEx A300/310 pilots and almost all of them say it's a POS.

I know someone who flew the spaceshuttle. They didn't say it was a POS.

My other bud drove an AMC Pacer. They said it WAS a POS.

BB told me you don't know what you are talking about.

That shoulda put a moratorium on that ridiculous POS remark.

I fly the A300 and its definately NOT a POS. It is quiet, fuel efficient, has tons of power, glass, GPS, and a very forgiving plane to fly. It even took a surface to air missle to the wing and still came back and landed...not many planes that can do that.

I suspect that I know more FedEx pilots than you and I have yet to meet one that has classified it as a POS.

Wow, I've talked to some pilots who fly the next airplane in your career progression....and they all say that it's a POS.

Imagine that.

If you want to bitch about the A-300, start a thread about it.

But don't drop into a thread with a bunch of UPS new-hires who are about to fly the thing and declare it a POS.

Unless you want everyone to see how jealous you really are.

Now go back to your RJ and remember that envy won't get you into that big jet....only experience will.



Yes, I'm being a d!ckhead, but no more than the jealous turd that shat all over this thread.

Enjoy your jet, new UPS guys! Here's to your first Helsinki layover!
