Default Out of the brown pool

For those interested and keeping track, I was called and offered a conditional job offer contingent upon the drug test.

Applied within days of the application coming back online in January - or I should say re-applied because my first app went in as SO/FE in September. Interviewed at the end of February. Pool letter exactly one week later via US Mail. Phone call from HR exactly one month to the day from receiving the pool letter. Now wondering how long till a class date. I am hoping to get into that April 23rd class.

Good luck to everyone. Rock on!

Brown,

What was your available start date and what's your background? I got the pool letter on 5 Feb but can't start until 1 May. Hoping to get a call soon.

peterpilot,

My available date is basically two weeks out from anytime going forward. I am currently flying for another airline, so I really just need to give notice and start with UPS.

I have a 737 type, as well as two others from regional airline flying. I have 6000 hours or so, with about 4500 PIC, two years as check airman.

Anybody know what it means that my online app now has another section to fill out? It also says that I am suppose to be in Louisville on April 23rd. Is that my tenative class date? I haven't heard anything official yet from UPS? But I just noticed that on my application.

Does anyone know if UPS is mandating new hires relocate to ANC? Can we commute as an option and live somewhere on the west coast? What are the chances of getting ONT as a new hire? Will they ever reopen their online application? I could not seem to get into it and called the job hotline. They said that it will open soon.

Brown,

That means you will be in that class on the 23rd. When you pass your drug screen, HR will call you and direct you to the website you already found and ask you to fill out the additional information prior to class. Congrats, and welcome aboard!

Default 23d

See you in SDF on the 23d.

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.
