Notable bits of info:
20 in the class. 12 MD-11s to ANC, 6 757z SDF, 1 757 MIA, 1 757 ONT. Also the hotel is different again...Hampton Inn on Phillips Lane.
I'm very happy at UPS and congratulate all you guys. But don't get used to UPS Mgt having a heart!
Hampton Inn!? Wow, you are lucky. Those are usually nice and definetly a lt better than the hotels on Hurstbourne that they have used in the past. You'll be withing 10 minutes of the training center.
Freightpuppy is a smart gal, but when I checked last bid period the junior capt lines were all long blocks of reserve at ANC. They were also pretty junior on the FO side as well. It's a growing domicile so things are in flux. I'd live in ANC as a newhire if at all possible.
You guys all just won the lottery. The only catch is you can't collect anthing until April 23, 2008 when you get off probation and start getting paid like professionals!
