Talking Oct 1st UPS class

Got the good news for class Oct 1st. Was told everything in that class is to Anchorage, MD-11s and 747s. Just wondering what others have been told? Also, wondering which airframe will give me the best opportunity to fly international out of SDF the quickest?
For those wondering, applied in the April window, lots of overwater experience (fortunate for me), interviewed Aug 8th, invited to "continue the interview process" (drug and background checks) 2 weeks later, and called today with classdate.

Thumbs up Congrats

The MD is supposed to be downsizing in SDF, and the new 747's are not supposed to be based there at all if I remember correctly. The only other option is 75z which is domiciled in SDF. Not sure when any of those options will come open to you though....

Welcome to Brown. That's good and bad news simultaneously...

Union folks mentioned that everyone for the rest of the year would be going North. This will help offset some displacements, maybe avoid them.

Maybe I missed it, but I've only seen one post where an assessment was sent from applying on this latest application window (15 Aug 07)... anyone else receiving them???

I've also heard that the training department is SO backed up that these app's may not get called for a while for interviews etc. Anyone else hearing the same?

Congrats to you all. You'll be out in time for skiing/snowboarding. See ya at humpys or F street for a cold one. Any intel on future classes, pool size, etc when you meet for your brief would really be appreciated. Swimming like an otter and looking to be brown .

I don't know how accurate the MD downsizing in SDF is. I have also heard that "we will not grow ANC by stealing from SDF any further." Also, there are 15 MD-11s being acquired in 2007-2008 that will be based in ANC. Those positions at the bottom of the MD-11 list in SDF should be safe from displacement, although the people may be in danger with the upcoming 747 classic displacement. We'll know more with the upcoming Oct bid. I'm hoping we see 2004-2005 DOH on the ANC Capt list after the next bid.

Default October 1st Class?

Has there been any mention of class size or how many classes remaining in the year?

Thanks

Submitted online app in April (Active status)
Assessment received Aug 28
Call to schedule interview Aug 29
Interview early Sept
Conditional employment offer after interview - pending (Drug test, background check)

The following info from Hr during interview. Classes scheduled through the remainder of the year. All hired from now to the end of the year are Alaska bound.

Interview process was very straight forward and everyone at UPS went to great lengths to make it as stress free as possible. I found it a very positive experience.
