A bunch of us did a lot of posting about the UPS application process at the beginning of the year, helping each other out with things like whether or not you have to reapply on 07 even though the 06 app is still there and able to update, what is the difference between Active and On File, how long to get the assessments email and don’t hit submit until the application is complete because you can’t update even though it takes the information. These are guys that I’m seeing are now being displaced to ANC if not there already.
This isn’t an anonymous forum and it’s pretty easy to figure out who someone is but I wouldn’t post anything here that I wouldn’t say to your face so it doesn’t matter. In the end I decided I like being part of this online community and I posted. It is a public forum and I’ve opened myself to your questions about my decision.
I’ve learned a lot about the airline industry since I started reading APC and I know how lucky I am. We talked about multiple offers during my interviews with Delta and UPS. Everybody should have such “problems” but as I’ve read here many times, I really don’t have a decision to make. I haven’t heard from UPS on the results of my interview and even if successful it is still a competitive pool and it doesn’t mean I’ll ever be offer a class date. Right now I have class date with Delta and I am very happy and excited about that. I’m focused on doing the absolute best I can there and if I have a decision to make I the future, well I guess I’ll cross that bridge when/if I get to it.
I didn’t intend to highjack this thread so I’ll shut up now and let you get back to the discussion of the IPA’s age distribution.

Razor,
To heck with the UPS crowd <g>. Who cares, your the one who is going to live with your decision. You will be two years and settled at DAL when UPS finally gives you a call, then you can say whatever you desire. Had a bud living in SDF, in the pool, wanted UPS so bad!!! Hired at Fedex. 2 years later, UPS calls. Thanks but no thanks was his response. You will whine no matter where you hang your hat! Your a smart guy. Enjoy your new career!
To me it's not parochial, as aviators we go for the best deal that is in the window of opportunity when you are in the market.
