“I believe you need three letters to be considered competitive at UPS. Those letters should be from someone who has actually flown with you. A letter from someone who never flew with you will carry very little weight, if any at all.”

- 3 letters will do it???

- Hmm, I wish you were right. I have 4 great online recommendations and have flown with 3 of the pilots. And btw, you’re correct Freighpuppy - the recommendation form is very looong and thorough, which is why I appreciate the recommendations my friends wrote for me even more – they spent many hours “writing essays.”
- I also have a letter of recommendation from a UPS driver which I was able to bring to a couple of job fairs I attended. My stats: 3,300pic part121, 6,700tt, - still waiting…

It’s ok, I’ve been trying since June 2000 and I am not about to give up now! Fortunately, my friends keep encouraging me too!

Hope it works out for us all!
