UPS hiring to slow to a trickle the remainder of 2006.

Not flame. Latest hiring projections from the company.

Doesn't surprise me. On one hand they are significantly behind in manning (according to the IPA's computer staffing model). On the other hand, if a new contract is signed in the next few months, the "enticements" (125% opentime, 150% JA) will suck up all the extra flying like a giant New Orleans pump! Reserve will once again be a good deal. Heck, we can barely contain the greed among a small percentage of our crew force during these troubled times as it is. New contract = open season on open time! Sad, but true.

Unfortunately, there is much more to it than just that.

Typical UPS plans to try and screw us again on Menlo.

UPS screwing anybody.... NAH!!!!!!!

This is funny, b/c when I used to work there 10+ years ago, as an accounting slave... they wouldn't let you work more than 5 straight hours, or they would have to pay you overtime. They expected you to take a break (lunch, are you kidding me at 11:00PM) BTW, the production/sorts had to be done by 11:00PM.

Screwind anybody? I don't think so...

Spill the beans...

Hey UPSer,

I saw a similar post on the other board about this rumor. What is the rumor, other than them looking for loopholes?

Brutal joke UPSer...say your source or say how possible this is.

Ive been told that Pilot Recruitment is allowed to hire pilots so that our Sr list does not exceed 2768 pilots. I think that leaves roughly 35 more for the year. (Yes, completely embarrassing) These are pre-contract numbers and supposedly, if a new contract is signed or rumored to be signed, the numbers will be revised... of course in ATL...

With only 35 line guys being hired I can guess my shot at a management position is pretty much nil. F@ch!!!
