Anyplace I would say for the sim prep. You do not know the type of aircraft you will do you ride in in till that day. You can do it almost in anything except the 747.

Just a poolie splashing around in the UPS pool.

Two of my friends did sim prep with AJ in Memphis (Emerald Coast) for the UPS sim ride and they passed. He is the best person to contact for the sim prep !
 
Your sim ride will likely be in the 72, 75, or A300. I personally have never heard of the 8 being used, the 74 is in a different part of town, and the MD is too complicated for a sim eval. Sorry I can't narrow it down further. It really depends on what is available at the time. The sim ride should take no longer than 15 minutes. Your evaluator will sit down beside you (you can take any seat), discuss a few things, and away you go. What is the absolute most important thing is to brief and include this person in everything you do. Ie, "what do you think?", "this will be an approach to the ILS 13......", etc., etc. The more involved, the more CRM, the better off you'll be. Also, try to look only at fuel flows. If you try to scan the others, it will become overwhelming. If the FF #'s are unavailable before the sim, then level off at 200 knots and note your ff, this # can be used with a little playing around for all flap and gear configs. through to landing.
 
I know a few people that have been hired after doing a 727 sim prep at Purdue University with John Young. His contact info can be found on this board by doing a search. Seems most interviews these days are in the 767 FBS, but it just depends on the training going on any given day (727, A300 or 757 as posted). A sim ride in the Diesel would be no fun, especially for somebody used to flying a halfway maneuverable jet.

Why a new posting if Brown has 50-100 people in a hiring pool?!?

Because, as I've been told, UPS' pool is a competetive pool not at FIFO pool. Just because you are in the pood does not guarantee a class date. From what my contacts there have told me, if you are in the pool for more that a couple of months and they are still hiring, odds are you are not going to get a class date as your interview score is not high enough.

I'd love to fly a DC-8, it's such a manly airplane.

I just had a friend get a class date after being in pool for 7 months
 
He must have been an exception, there seems to be a few people on the board that have been in there as long or longer and have not been called.
