...you happen to have an MD-11 type rating. There was a very recent new hire w/out the 4 year degree but w/ 'other over-riding qualifications.' So, don't count yourself out...

Tiger,

Good question about having folks avail for peak....I started Feb 26 and just got released to the line a few days ago-almost 4 months if my math is correct.

Just a wag, but I think anyone that starts in Oct. probably won't be done until Jan/Feb time frame. Again, just a guess given the holidays and the workload of the maxed out training dept.

Any other opinions ???

Almost the same experince here on the B757/767 fleet.

Started March 8th. ETA for release to line is now Jul 12. Just over 4 months from start to finish.

As always, your mileage may vary ...

I know several pilots who would not meet the minimums to apply today, excluding the overwater. One of my friends just upgraded on the Bus and only has 400 hours PIC in a metro. I know a management guy on the Bus they are paying him to go to college right now. The 1000 PIC requirement didn't exist prior to 9/11.

There are many here, even post 1988, that have ZERO college. Just need the right person pushing for you. Management or OBAP. In my circle alone, I know at 15 here without any college.

I got hired with about 300 PIC turbine in a Convair. I still bet I only have 450 hours of PIC turbine to my name and I've been in the left seat in ONT for a year. Didn't know anybody at UPS, either, but got hired in 1990, back when UPS was hiring warm bodies and nobody wanted to work here.

Anyone in the biz less than 10 years probably doesn't know freight jobs were once looked down upon by the masses.

Don't look for anything until the DHL deal gets signed. After that the only rumor I have heard is maybe 20-30 this year and maybe 100-200 in 09. These are only rumors though.

Good luck
