WOW!!! So let me get this straight. You had a chance to work at SW. That in itself is one of the hardest jobs in the world to get. And you turned it down.
For good reason. You came to UPS. Which is even harder to get! Who in the heck do you know that you can have both of these jobs offered to you at the same time? Most people would kill for an interview at one of them even if they do all that it takes to get a damn interview!
I'll let you in on something you greedy punk. When you got hired at UPS, you won the pilot lottery. So either stop crying or better yet, QUIT!!!! And give the job to someone that would be more appreciative than you. Guess what. People at every airline in the world are getting displaced right now because the movement is negative in regards to seniority.
This has to be flamebait. I just cant believe what I'm seeing with the original post!
I work here, you don't so I bet that I have a better perspective of a UPS pilot job than you do. Let me spell it out for you...Except for the people that I fly with, I pretty much hate it here, and I know that many of the junior pilots feel the same way after the past 2 to three years here.
I'm sorry that you couldn't get hired here or SWA. I was hired at both, so maybe you are the one who is an irrational person that nobody will hire. To be honest, I actually left a major airline to come here, and I had my choice of pretty much any place I wanted and I picked UPS. I wish I would've went to SWA though. I had the 737 type from my other legacy job, and I could be living in Vegas or somewhere nice instead of Louisville or Alaska. Screw this place!
Also, my world doesn't revolve around aviation, and I don't judge myself or anyone else based on where they work. Maybe UPS and I are just not a good fit. The corporate culture here is atrocious, and I have a serious fear that this place is going to keep getting worse year after year because of people like YOU that would do anything to work at this crap job basically because you are desperate fools.
UPS has one good thing going for it and that is the hourly rate. That is it! Everything else about working at this place SUCKS!!!! Domiciles, airplanes, schedules, MANAGERS....
There is more to life than an hourly rate. I guess you'll realize that someday. But probably not.
