Does anyone know if the UPS app allows you to enter flight time for the T-6A? I have a bunch of T-6 PIC, but the drop-down menus on the app have only "jet" and "ME Turbine."

Wilbro,

Where is the T6A flown besides trawing6? My son left Whiting after instructing in the T6B.

The Air Force flies the T-6A for pilot training at Columbus, Laughlin, Vance and sheppard bases. The navy has the alphas like you said at wing six and the bravos in whiting and transitioning to them in corpus.

The Air Force flies the T-6A at NAS Pensacola as well. I guess my question is, since the T-6 is a single engine turbine, you can't enter the time in the application separately, right? Nobody found out that they count it as "jet" time or anything like that? Just double checking.

I heard last week from someone that was at cpm ups will continue to interview and build a pool of 250 applicants and will continue hiring base on network planning thru next year and once is complete ups will only hire from the pool. Hope that helps.
good luck to everyone

I heard there are approximately 10 in the pool so far. The UPS pool is a competitive pool, not first in first out. They want to have new hires ready in case they get word to hold a fourth class.

So basically what you're saying is that making it into the pool doesn't mean diddly squat, because there could always be someone more qualified, either in the pool, or if they start interviewing again, someone interviewed well after the pool swimmer, but again, more qualified. I just love the way UPS works. They seem to invent new ways to screw guys in every way imaginable. That's too bad, because this job is not rocket science, and someone who made it into the pool should reasonably expect to be hired from the pool, in some defined sequence. Oh well.

Maybe what UPS should do is expand their thinking to include the current set of already hired-and-on-the-line pilots, such that if they find a new candidate, whom they consider "more qualified" than someone already on the payroll, hire him to replace that person. After all, this flying airplane stuff is gigantically complex and only the best of the best of the best need apply.
