UPS Quals
Had a co-pilot tell me yesterday that UPS will not interview anyone with no trans-oceanic experience. He said this was explained to him at a job fair by a UPS rep a while back. Any big brown guys/gals out there able to confirm this?

Trans-oceanic experience was only required during one open window period earlier in the year. The window has since opened and closed a few times since then without the requirement to have such experience. The UPS application window closed for 2007 on November 15th. Hopefully it will open next year and UPS will continue to staff front seat pilots with those under the age of 60.

Well, for what it is worth...I had an interview in early November. My qualification included trans-oceanic experience, total time 7,500 inclusive of military and civilian time. I did get the question concerning who I know at UPS...I did not ask everyone to write a letter of recommendation with the thought that one or two was plenty. Now I am questioning that decision. Hopefully I will hear something positive soon.

Those I've spoken with about the company's stated position, "No hiring for 2008," are unanimous that it is not possible. We need more help.
