Indeed, I hear through the grapevine that UPS are very happy with their Cathay applicants….
Just a quick one tnkrdrvr, all due respect but on the PRIA issue, no one ever accused Cathay, BA or even Ryanair of having low standards and no need to game any system!
I'd like to second that my comment wasn't aimed at you. Having experienced some of BA's training facilities myself I can confirm your sentiment. However, UPS is in the position of not needing to bother looking for additional parameters to widen their catchment area. Unfortunately, that means that certain quality applicants like yourself won't be teased out of the system until necessary. Check that pic box and you would be very competitive.
