UPS Hopefulls

[Big Al]

If anyone has a interview coming up with UPS, I think I have a good deal for you if you are going to be near DFW on Sunday. I scheduled and paid for an hour of 727 sim time with Altheon to get ready for my interview. I called back to confirm and they said they were going to throw in an extra hour for free because they couldn't fill the hour after me. I can only use about 30 minutes of that extra hour because I have to catch a flight. So if you are getting ready for an interview at UPS and would like some free 727 sim time on Sunday between noon and 2 at DFW, then PM me. If not, good luck on the interview and Happy Holidays.

It didn't used to be that way at UPS. When I was hired in 2001 most of the guys/gals I knew used part 61.

I logged my SO time as PIC when I was at the controls (I was typed in the C130.)

I am surprised they have changed their ways, but I gues they can be picky as to what they want.

Good luck all.

I too was interviewed and hired in 2001 by UPS. I used my second in command time (but sole manip) and they let me. I did have 1500 of actual Signed for the AC time, but a had a boatload of SIC and sole manip time. Anyway, they must have changed. Don't let it discourage you because if you get an interview, you'll have a chance to shine in the sim and in the oral. If they like you, as long as you can muster the mins (either way), my guess is they'll hire you. My buddy I rec'd just took his physical yesterday! good luck you guys.

I just interviewed with UPS, this week. They said it takes about 4-5 weeks before you fined out(that was said by this woman who escorted me around). But how long does it reallt take?

UPS Military Conversion

Does anyone know if there is a military conversion factor for UPS times?

I'm speculating, but what the heck, here's my $0.02.

Probably because his odds from retiring from UPS are greater than where he is right now. Probably because UPS won't tie him to a pager 24/7, 365 days a year. Probably, because he'll recoup that pay after 2-3 years with a substantial increase in quality of life.

Gear_Guy, not slamming your post, but giving an honest assessment of why somebody would trade in corporate for an FE position.

And again, pure speculation as to why one would leave a G5 spot for an FE position, and that FE position isn't permanent either.

No problem. I think it's great. That says alot about UPS.

But you have to admit there probably arent too many G5 capts leaving there job.

Military Conversion

There is not a military conversion specified on the application. I would just report the actual time.
