UPS Management Position

[174037]

Any UPS guys out there able to provide input on what life is like at UPS for Flight Operations Management and Ground Instructors? I see they are advertising vacancies for these positions. Is there a lot of turnover, are they still available, pay, qol, etc? Any info would be appreciated, I am thinking of throwing my resume in the stack.

Well, from what I hear you will be the company's biatch. You will live where they want you to live and fly when they want you to fly. You are not on the pilot seniority list and non-union. At least that is what I have seen and heard about it so far.

I heard they make huge $$$$ and many retire early as multi millionaires with the stock they recieve as part of their compensation package. Sign me up!

thta's a bunch of BS
if it is a such a great job they should have been able to promote some of 3000 pilots to that poition and that says it all.
u wanna be a scab and sell your soul and itegrity for couple $ and stocks then go right ahead, just remember not to many people will think much of u around here.

Looks like you have plenty of qualifications to get a real line job. Stay away from management if you can help it. Most of the guys there would trade with the rest of us in a second if they could

I think that they started interviewing and the classes are getting larger now. There should be a bit of hiring coming up as our F/e's leave and aircraft deliveries start. Sounds like you really need a recomendation from somone here already. Good luck!

u wanna be a scab

So now a mgmt pilot is a scab, huh? You might not agree with them going to mgmt positions from the street but unless they've crossed a picket line, they're not a scab.

I agree, and we have our share that have done that. What my coworker brownie was getting at was not calling the guy a scab, but saying that the company is hiring these managers to be potential scabs should the need come up. If you don't want to be in that position, stay away!!

As was stated by 767pilot, our management pilots are different from the traditional management pilots. As follows:

Traditional - typically line pilots with a seniority number, will work a desk or training for a period of time, then return to the line.

UPS - hired as a manager, no seniority number, cannot move to the line pilot seniority list (unless you reinterview and start at the bottom), and most importantly, expected to CROSS A PICKET LINE if the IPA was to strike, thus making them scabs. Like it or not, it goes with that territory, so buyer beware.
