UPS hiring update

[UPSer]

I met the lady who is the head of HR for the airline on my last trip, her
name is Laura Roybal, she is Phil Donohues boss. I asked her how many more line pilots they were going to hire. She said they are stopping at 2760 and that they only have about 20 more to go. I asked her how many more
management pilots they are going to hire and she said 2. She said that
there were 68 pilots in the pool.

thanks for the reply on the other forum,....

Is the hiring stop because of alpa neqotiations or something else? Any projected retirements in the near future? I know UPS has A/C orders, but is that to replace older a/c or growth?

Thanks

Walking on thin ice bro with the use of the above POS and corrupt organization when referring to big brown .

Talked to HR the other day and they did say it has alot to do with the ****IPA**** negotiations. Big brown managed to make a tiny profit in the first quarter and from what Im hearing the two sides are off by about 20 MILLION a year. Also heard the NC is possibly giving up some stuff already agreed upon, so that the numbers could work for the A plan in the retirements. Golden parachute anyone?

All rumors though.... so I guess time will tell.

Obviously they are not planning for a strike or all 20 slots would have gone to mgt pilots.

Networ-King...

Let me ask you a question...From your list of a/c flown, I'm assuming you've flown both pax and cargo. Which do you like better?
