UPS Hiring

[panamclipper]

What are the hiring projections for UPS in 2006?

 

[needapayraise]

At least as many as 2005, with rumors of close to double that amount with outbased training. Probably a lot depends on how many over 60 guys retire with the new contract.

At least as many as 2005.

Is this for sure or a rumor?

 

[needapayraise]

As sure as a rumor can get!

Yes, it looks like they will hire 1200, and the pay is good as well.

An avalanche of holiday packages is prompting UPS to hire 1,200 seasonal workers in metro Atlanta, the company announced.
The positions pay $8.50 an hour and will end at Christmas, but holiday workers may apply for permanent positions after Dec. 31. Prospective workers should apply and schedule interviews online at upsjobs.com.

• The Sandy Springs delivery giant expects to add up to 60,000 temporary workers nationwide as package deliveries surge 43 percent to 20 million a day as Christmas approaches.

UPS also is adding about 7,000 rented trailers to its fleet of 88,000 vehicles during its peak delivery season to increase capacity.
In Atlanta, some brown UPS vehicles are towing U-Haul trailers.
"We add a lot of people and equipment between Thanksgiving and Christmas," said Norman Black, a UPS spokesman. "We're also adding 24 or 25 large jet aircraft on a temporary basis."

Hello V-Stall,

yes I am still alive. No news. I do check to see if my file is still active on UPS.com and it is as of today. Well I as in the others who are here with me in the pool will hope that 2006 will be our year.

LLB!

Hey LearBoy, how long have you been swimming in Brown? I am now at the 4 month mark. Heard the next classes will be in February, so another 2 months to go, minimum

 

[bohnzai]

It's good to see you poolies are stiil out there. LLB, V-Stall and others. Just hanging out in a SDF crash pad with friends, wishing I was one of the chosen ones. I hope the class sizes get bigger next year. Rumor has it that the pool is almost empty, but we all heard that one before.

 

[Chog]

Last I heard there was about 50 poolies left.....might still be awhile. I am thinking March until the current pool is drained....

whoops wrong thread

Hello My fellow poolies brothers,

I am just doing a quick 6 month check in the sim down in ATL. Delta has some nice gear here! Let see I have been in the pool since Jan 2005. V-STALL, Bohnzai, few of us left that are in the pool and in the this web site. I hope the count about 50 is true. I hope even more UPS pulls us out! I hope for many things, but most never come true. So if anybody has a closer bond with the "all mighty", please make a request to pull the plug on this pool and we are dried off with brown towels just before class starts.

LLB,

2006 is our year I can feel it! They will drain it for classes in Jan-Feb so it can be filled again for the new year. I may be kidding myself (my downfall is my never ending optimism). When that water level reaches the scum and sludge near the drain they will find me waiting with a smile on my face.

Chog,

FYI- Been in the pool since Feb 05

 

[LittleLearBoy]

Chog & Bohnzai,

I hope 2006 is our year. I think at the rate I am going I will be with you shoulder to shoulder on the bottom of the pool. I have been in the pool since Jan '05. And please don't foget about asking 'the man' up stairs to help us out. I used to have a direct link, but it left.

 

[Chog]

I heard from a UPS bubba, that there is no classes at all in January except for the management pilot hires....maybe Feb. is our month....

 

[needapayraise]

Latest rumor is getting 7-8 747-400 pax to cargo conversions for delivery in 2006 and 757 pax to cargo conversions to allow 767s being used domestically to be redeployed to international routes. The next system bid due out late this month or in January is rumored to have around 80 new captain vacancies.

 

[V-STALL]

LLB- I bumped into a pilot today that has an interview scheduled for Jan.(not a mgmt pilot). This should be good news I hope for you guys that are still swimming. Either the deal is;

A. They are going to drain the pool and have to fill it back up.
B. They are sticking more people in the pool and adding to the current numbers.
C. You guys are the last in the dingy brown water all the way at the bottom of the deep end, and they are finally going to clean it out!

I'm pushing for C!!:erm:
Don't give up guys, you've made it through the tough part, it's going to happen soon! :beer:

 

[LittleLearBoy]

V-Stall,

I have to be honest I do not think any of the three choices you have put up will happen. I think they will just keep doing what they are doing. And that is interview, put a score next to you name and move on. The pool has been around for a long time and will still be in play next year. Like the rest of us in the pool, I will just sit and wait. But I will not put my life on hold for it.

Thanks for the info and the motivation. Burned out with pool.

Cramer says UPS is the best freight forwarder right now. Stock a good buy.
