I'd like to give you a congrats. You are in and on your way to class very soon. Probably going to ANC, good time to get there when your done with training. Fishing will be great, long hours of daylight, warm. I'll see you up there when someone finally gives in and lets me. swimming like an otter.

a2b Boxhaul

How many of the above list of names went to the 23 Apr class. As a 747 Capt you should be a shoe in for 747 or Md11. Also, is the rumor true that regional and figher guys do not get internatinal. I'm a herc driver with Airbus318/19, 737, md83 experince so who knows where I will go, any thoughts

 

a2b boxhaul: I hope you get called soon. You have an awesome attitude.

I'm a RJ/fighter type and got SDFZ, so it's not true...odds are against going to ANC with my background right now.

 

Slice, if you don't mind me asking, where did you fly RJ's?

 

As far as any thoughts , HR sorts out the levels of experience to meet the needs of the company. They offer classes and tell guys what to expect for equipment. That said the oldest guys usually get their first choice(75/76). Now can an rj driver end up in ANC. Maybe, but just as likely they end up 75/76. Just depends on the needs of UPS. I know of one guy in the APR 23 class who was a 747 driver I don't know what equipment he's on yet. Believe it or not, all of the 747 drivers I know who were hired up until now have so far ended up on the 75/76(their choice). Pretty much blows out the go to the MD11 based on type of flying experience idea most people in this forum would think is the norm. So with all of that said . I can't quite figure out a lot of the how, who,and where. I just know that HR figures it out. I do think I will get a class date(-400?). I know that I have been in the pool a long time but there have been others who have been in longer and they got classes. So until then I'll enjoy flying with my happy boxes in my big jet all over the place. Its really that easy and most of the time fun. Anc is getting warm, days are getting longer, the beer is cold, and FISHING season is coming .Swimming like an otter.

 

YV ......................BTW, nobody in my class of 15 got a choice.

 

what class were you in

 

a2b,

I know how you feel about this pool. I know. I WISH they would just empty the F&*$ing pool first.
