What I'm saying is that UPS will be flooded with applicants if hiring resumes. It was mentioned that people will reconsider applying to UPS because of what has happened there, but I see that as highly unlikely.
Keep in mind that most applicants to any major (including cargo, mainlines, etc) are regional people...both Captains and FOs alike. Also keep in mind that not all regional FOs are alike. Many have substantial previous experience (there are military pilots, former corporate, 135, etc, flying at the regional level). All sorts of highly qualified applicants WILL be applying to UPS when possible...you'll see.
To many, coming to UPS (even under current conditions) may be a huge advancement. That's what I was trying to say I guess. Sorry for any confusion.
