Some good news. Well, for me, at least.

I'm one of nine in the August 29th class, all going (as of a few days ago,fingers crossed) to the A300. I don't know if the class is full.

Applied in 2001, two recommendation letters. Interviewed late June.

Luck to be dry. :)
 
Congrats SonnyD,
I'm headed down to SDF to start class on thurs.
Welcome aboard, see ya on campus

I'll tell you what the big annoucement is, "UPS to hire an additional 300 new hires". Look for this at the end of the month.

Well if thats the case, can sombody please remind them of the hundred or so people in the pool who are ready to get out and dry off in a nice brown colored wall class room.

Splash, splash, just splashing around in the the UPS pool.

There's supposed to be a "big" announcement?????

The 747-400s rumor was supposed to be press released Tuesday....maybe it will come out tomorrow. At least that's the rumor I heard ;)

"The Independent Pilots Association is strongly committed to the principle
of solidarity with our fellow transportation industry workers.”


I might have been misinformed but didn’t the NWA pilots decided NOT to support their own mechanics in this conflict? Is that true? If so, the UPS pilot’s actions are even more admirable!
 
UPS Orders Eight Boeing 747-400 Freighters
Wednesday August 17, 9:10 am ET


LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 17, 2005--As part of its on-going
effort to accommodate strong international volume growth, UPS (NYSE:UPS -
News) today announced a firm order for eight new Boeing 747-400 freighters
from Boeing C

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Deliveries of the 747-400's will begin in June 2007 and run through 2008.
UPS has selected General Electric to provide engines for the new aircraft.

"These Boeing 747-400 freighters will allow UPS to smoothly increase
capacity on its most important international 'trunk' routes connecting Asia,
Europe and North America," said Bob Lekites, UPS vice president of airline
and international operations.

UPS today relies on the Boeing MD-11 freighter as its primary international
workhorse. UPS has 20 of those planes and another eight on order. The new
747-400 aircraft, which can handle a larger payload than the MD-11, will be
used to "upsize" MD-11 routes as international volume grows.

In its most recent second quarter, UPS's export volume grew an impressive
18.2%, led by Asia export volume gains of 39.5%. China again drove Asia with
export volume rising 99%.

The Boeing 747-400 freighter has the capacity to carry a structural payload
of 250,000 pounds with a range of 4,400 nautical miles.

UPS is the world's largest package delivery company
