Yes not as good as going to ANC Yes My philosophy on ONT vs. ANC - if you have heavy, international time, you will probably go to ANC. I've noticed the regional guys going to the 757. So, I guess if you want to go to ONT, it's to your advantage if you don't have the heavy, international time. |
Beaker,
A little info for you in the "SDF to ANC" thread under "Cargo". |

Online app 26 Jan, Psych test a week or so later, called for 26 Mar interview about a week after that, phone call with good news 2 days after interview, wizz quiz 3 Apr, phone call 5 Apr for MD11 ANC class. 20 in the class. Not really much time in the pool... Quals - 737 type, BE40, heavy lockheed experience, current int'l mil AC. All military experience w/ most PIC instructing. Here's my Q: how hard is it to jumpseat to ANC? You get to reserve 10 days out, but can you get bumped? Brown - I'd expect your phone to ring very soon. Our contract says that if you are bumped off of the jumpseat that the company can not hold it against you. However, on probation you are not afforded the benefits and protections of the contract and Union. The good news is that you'll probably be on reserve in ANC which means a 15 day block. You'll only have to jumpseat once a month. If you are a mil reservist you'll be able to maintain all benefits and credit for probation as long as you do at least 8 days of reserve. Commuting to ANC on probation is not the best scenario IMO. But you gotta do whatcha gotta do. |
Congrats "BROWN", heard there are 19 of us (above post says 20 so I could
be wrong) going to class on 4/23. I was offered 757Z SDF, 757 MIA or MD11 ANC. Interviewed in JAN, pee and class offer in March. Look forward to meeting you guys/gals there. |

Do you think flying Freddy gave you any significant advantage with UPS? You guard or AD? |

You wouldn't by chance be Randy Heisey from TCM, would you? Tried to PM you but you haven't posted enough yet.

FWIW, I don't have any heavy time (just the 737) and the most of the international time that I have is down to the islands and the Dominican Republic and a lot of Mexico. Wonder if that is enough to get to ANC?
I will gladly take any position, but my family and I are hoping for Anchorage. How long will I be on reserve in ANC? Is it true that ANC upgrades could be less than 5 years? Anybody wanna go in partners on a seaplane up there :D |
Out of the brown pool |
congrats
Brown...congrats!
I took the pee test on 3/29. The next day my on-line app showed "you have an appointment at 802 Grade Ln on Monday April 23rd at 8 am." However, it has been over a week now and still no follow up call from HR. Hopefully I'll see you guys/gals on the 23rd. |

After the last displacement bid, the most junior capt. position up there went to a 9/00 hire. I guess in the future it could go less than 5 years since UPS didn't hire from 01 - 04. Have fun in class and keep us updated! |
