If you find yourself frustrated by the UPS application process, please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for employment. This is life at UPS, it is the way it has always been and it is the way it will always be. Everything here is harder than it should be, nothing makes sense. There is no common sense in the equation. We pilots live by a mantra of "expectation zero". Which simply means that we can expect no good will from our employer. If there is an easy way and a hard way, the company defaults to the hard way even if it ultimately costs them more money. Please realize that this is life at brown. We have more management personnel than any other airline & we have more active grievances. We have had 3 major screw ups in crewmember paychecks in less than a month and you get nothing but a busy signal when you try to call and ask about anything. To top it off, it takes twice the industry standard length of time to settle a contract. If you think you are qualified to work at UPS and the above does not appeal to you, please wake up and apply elsewhere.
