Yes. But it only two deliveries this year. And very late in the year I might add. What are two 747's manned at? 7 per plane. So 28 bodies needed. The IPA training gains, OVC, etc. do not come close to covering the anticipated numbers talked about. Not even close.
So either UPS does not hire the 300-375 like the rumors say. Or something is up behind the scenes.
The Fleet development and E-commerce growth has to be additional new gateways. If not, I don't see the need for 300+ hires.
This is UPS we are talking about.
