I agree with the few comments above but unfortunately a lot of people will see them as just complainers.

With that being said if this is your #1 choice; interviews were happening as late as February. Idk about now but they do have a pool of people waiting to be put in classes. No hiring until next year is what I keep hearing and depending on the pool size it could be a few months into 2027 before they get butts in classes.

The reality is we need the extra bodies. On the domestic side we’re starting to see the same issues international crews are having. If there’s a gap to throw flying on a line holders schedule it’s happening.

Unfortunately until we get the training backlog cleared there’s no space to train. Even then if the powers that be in Atlanta see we can run the operation with a percentage of less crews we might not do that much hiring.

All that being said I really hope no one is passing a class date at other airlines waiting for UPS to call.
