Carry on......
I thought that I was the only one that saw the BS in that post
I believe that's not quite true. One of my friends is a FO line pilot for UPS and goes to job fairs on his own time helping with the interviews at job fairs. I met two others through him that do the same. Volunteers, not being compensated from IPA or UPS... At least that's what my friend told me and the two others as well.
There are FQMs there and HR. I haven't met interns, but that doesn't mean they aren't there - just that I haven't met them.
So is he seriously helping in the interviews, making hiring decisidions, because that would be news for the IPA. Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that some of our guys go to job fairs and help out ... what I doubt is that they have any say in the hiring process. If they do, good for them.
But if the union hasn't mentioned our involvement in the hiring process, I'd like to know why.
