Don't feel bad. I actually managed to get my 2007 application started. Unfortunately, I had everything except my specific type rating flight time breakdowns with me at the exact time when I happened to log into the jobs site and saw the Flight Officer position posted. There I sat without my logbook in hand and thought... "If I don't at least get it started so I can log back in and complete it later, I'll never see it posted again."

So, I filled out everything I could with the exception of adding all but one of my type ratings and the specific PIC/SIC experience I had in those types. The application has a bunch of general fields you complete, but the type ratings section is an individual type by type upload. You can upload as many as you can or none... SO... when I finished everything else, it ASSUMED I was done and accepted it as being complete. So without the ability to update, I am being falsely evaluated by their system without any hope of correcting the application. I emailed them to inquire about making the correction to the app, but got an expected "too bad" answer.

You'd think there would be a nice disclosure stating that you'll only have ONE SHOT at filling out this application and that it is not like any previous app.

But I guess that critical piece of information that may have a significant impact on a persons career is something you just can't expect. I certainly hope the Director of Safety at UPS isn't the same person that holds the Director of on-line Applications position.
