I'm sure the guy banging her now will be sick of her...
Eventually?

Well, send her to my house. Please, the laundry needs to be done.

If I had started this thread I might have gone with one, maybe two exclamation points. Using three is just plain silly and wasteful!

If they're going to stop hiring then why are they sending so many people to the AIR-INC seminar this weekend? Six according to their website. Fedex is only sending two.

I heard hiring 100 next month(s). This was from a chief pilot..

I just talked to an individual that has a class date on Jan 29 and she was told by the company that they are retiring all 727 (17) in the next year and replacing them with the 767 and then adding more. According to her, UPS is going to get 60 767 in the next 5 years. That doesn't sound like they are going to stop hiring.

I have no idea what's going on but I heard it from a manager the other day that they are going to have to stop hiring to retrain the 727 crews. FWIW
Personally, I don't know how they could just not hire any new pilots.....we are super duper short!

I'm not short I have a low CG

Wow, great rumor.. However, it may take them 5 years to decide to buy 60 767's. The 76 is the perfect freighter though.

There might be a hiring slow-down for a few months while the 727 crews get retrained, but I can't see them completely stopping newhire classes. Already being short crews in, that would put them even further behind the 8 ball.

Plus, no one's FOR SURE they're getting rid of all the 72's yet. They've just cancelled 3 runs so far.
