Thumbs up UPS poolies

Hey now!

I am officially a UPS poolie. Got the news today. Had to change the ol' moniker because I will be leaving a pretty good job for a great job with UPS.

Any idea how long the poolies are swimming?

My stats:

6,000 TT
Check Airman
3 type ratings
Currently at a major

Also, I am hoping for ANC.

Looking forward to the next step. How do they notify for a class date? Phone call, email?

Rock on!

Brown,

Doesn't seem too long recently. I was contacted via phone 3 days after completing drug kit with specific offer for ANC MD-11 class.

In my class ANC was awarded to the guys with Int'l, Heavy time. I wasn't able to tell from your quals above if that includes you. Everyone else was awarded 757 SDF/ONT and one 757Z.

Congrats on the new job...

Congrats Brown !! I interviewed in mid Jan, got the letter beg of Feb and
have been swimming ever since...feels like an eternity...but I know one guy
personally who has been swimming since Oct 05 so I need to keep perspective. As far as I know they will call, and when they have you take a pee test, your name has been pulled for a class. Good luck to you. Don't think anyone cares but my stats 8000+ hours, furloughed major, don't care what or where I fly from as long as it has a brown tail

Hey Brown,

Congratulations on getting on with UPS. However, now you'd better change your Avatar to something less provocative, as UPS takes a dim view of employees dissing their equipment. When I was hired at UPS, there was a guy in my class that was offered a management job. He took it immediately and was very happy with his decision, until one day he was overheard calling one of those brown delivery trucks a "brown delivery truck." He was called into his boss' office and told that he would be fired if he ever again referred to a "Package Car" as a "brown delivery truck/" So you be careful out there.

Let's see....today is March 8th. Swimming for less than a month. Feels like an eternity. That's rich!

There are one or two people around here that have your pool stay beat by a few years. Hope your suffering isn't too bad.

I wouldn't say I am "suffering", just anxious....Like I said, I have a friend who
was hired in Oct 05 and is still swimming....

Jetjok, thanks for the tip. It was the best avatar I could find at 4 am when I made the post. I found a better one this morning than the package truck with racing stripes.

Looking forward to getting the call for class.
