UPS CLASS DATE MARCH 14th ?-any calls?-any new dates in the future?

[Hawg68]

I hope your guess is correct as I would be leaning toward the "old" crowd, but I still haven't gotten the call. The day I interviewed I was the youngest in my group and I am 37. I would guess the average age to be closer to 40 with the high end being low to mid forties based on folks I personally know that have interviewed. Young or old we are all ready for THE call.

Good luck!

That may be true of the day you interviewed, but bear in mind UPS is all about diversity. Your class will be constructed to represent an varied mix of age, background, race and experience.

Since classes are generated from the total pool, there will more than likely be a handful of younger candidates which will dilute the average class age toward the younger thirties.

Great insight, I hope you are correct. Is it true they tend to give the older guys the higher seniority numbers and choice of airframe?

Seniority in your class will be assigned by age. Oldest = most senior.

No, new hires in class do not get their pick of aircraft. It will be assigned to you. However, the next classes will probably have a mix of FO’s and SO’s. They might ask if you want to be an FO vs. SO, but I’m simply guessing. I don’t know for sure.

As far as classes that are purely SO’s (as was always the case in the past) you had no say in which a/c you got. You found out on day 1 by looking at the book they placed in front of your nametag.

Assigned positions are determined by the fleet managers for each fleet. They go throught whos being hired for a specific class date and based upon experience, and ability, take who they want. The FE positions are selected first and then assigned, then FO positions.

also got the call on Friday and was told that I'm going staight to the A-380 as a Captain! Cool. Anyway, I can confirm 25 in class and that F/O will be assigned by age. I was told that they will call you if they are going to offer you a right seat. No call = F/E. Heard that there will be a small class at the end of the month.
