UPS called...looking for some info

[DiamondZ]

Interview scheduled in Jan. Was looking for interview gouge / suggestions. Have sim prep scheduled although I know its a toss up of what aircraft I would get. Any info would be appreciated.

Hold out for another airline with higher starting pay. $26K is pathetic for a billion dollar a quarter profit company.

Hey there! Good luck! Did someone walk your stuff in???

 

[DiamondZ]

No one officially walked my stuff in that Im aware of. Just been networking hard for the past 16 months. Had some success going to job fairs and trying to meet each UPS rep.

DiamondZ. Congrats on getting the call for the interview. Best advise I can give you ...relax... the interview is to get to know you as a person and as a pilot, and is very low stress. Take some time to think back about your flying history, and know the company very well. Some technical questions prior to the sim.

Good Luck!!

If you can sing Rocky Top, that'll be a check-plus on your file

Interview sims have been primarily 727, 767 FBS, A300 and MD11 (thats the order I have observed). Newhires have been going to DC8 FO/SO, 727 FO/SO, 756 domestic/international/ontario/miami, A300, and 747 SO (and a couple FOs). If a contract happens in the next 3-6 months, expect alot of SO positions as the 60+ demographic retires. Some might know better than me, but it seems aircraft breakdown per class is entirely dependant on needs and training capacity. Smile, be yourself, try to be relaxed...and if you get the 727 during the interview, raise your seat up high so you can see the HSI - the control column does a pretty good job of blocking it.

Hope this helps...good luck!
