FIREDUP,
This is the way the new online app. works: You answer 4 or 5 basic questions regarding your experience. If you answer the questions properly (if you are qualified) the system asks you more questions. So stop here and think back, how many questions did you answer? More than 4, you're good. About four, well sign back up using a different e-mail address after you have gained some time, got that FE written out of the way, whatever is holding you back. I'll assume you are qualified. UPS does rely heavily on internal recommendations and they are not ashamed to admit it. The problem for most applicants is that for a pilot recommendation to carry any weight, that employee must have flown with the applicant, i.e. not rode on his J/S, drank beer with him etc... I have filled out the pilot referral form several times and it is exhausting, it takes a good hour to fill it out.

Now's here's a catch, if a member of management puts in a recommendation for you, it's as good as gold, it will get you noticed. This manager could be a truck driver, mechanic, ramp supervisor, or chief pilot - it doesn't really matter. So that's your job right now. If you really want this job, start networking now. Rack your brain for guys you've flown with that may have found there way to UPS. Think about who you might know on the ground side of brown as well. If your coming up with a blank, go to the job fairs. UPS will be at a couple a year when hiring and this is your chance to shake the hand of someone who can make a difference for you.

Once you get the call, it's a very non threatening process. H.R. goes out of their way to make all the applicants feel at ease. No gotchas. It's as if they really want to hire everyone that walks in the door.

Wish you the best of luck! Hope this helps.
