Default UPS hiring pool

A good friend of mine has been in the pool at UPS for some time now. Anyone know the average length of time a poolie sits waiting? Any new classes planned in the near future? It seems like a tough way to start with a company- you're hired, now wait months to hear from us...

Being in the pool is not the same as being hired. You are not hired until you've completed the medical and offered a class date. It's a competitive pool -- each person is ranked. The higher the score, the sooner you'll be called. Your place in the pool will constantly be changing depending on your score and how new poolies rank. It's not first in first out.

The wait to exit the icy pool has lasted as long as 3 to 4 years for some, 3 months for others.

We're short pilots Big Time right now, so hiring should stay maxed out in the training center for the next few years. More aircraft are coming, Menlo flying should be flown by IPA pilots by 2007, and retirements are starting to surge. Tell your buddy to hang tight.

"Menlo flying should be flown by IPA pilots by 2007"

There is a maintenance planning page that can be accessed via the flight ops site. It's been pretty accurate about equipment changes in different gateways and routing changes. It shows a bunch of new IPA flying for Menlo on 7/11/06.

Where is this MX planning site? I can't find it.

I was wrong to say it's on the flight ops site. But I get to it the same way I access that. Anyhow....

go to www.remote.ups.com

input your super secret data.

Click on "Inside UPS"

"Operations"

"Air Group, Air Region"

"Aircraft Maintenance"

"Aircraft Maintenance Planning (AMP)"

"Scan - Schedule analysis"

"Flight Schedule information"

That's how I do it. It's a lot quicker on a UPS computer. And there may be shortcuts or a better way to do it.

Once I go to the Operations page, there is no option for "Air Group-Air Region". No Tab. ????? I am at my house. Not at work.

You need to click on "Air Group" which is listed under the "Air Region" subcategory.

I'm doing it from home right now.

I know I'm slow, but this is ridiculous. Under the "Operations" tab, there is no Air Region Tab. Under the Operations Screen, I have "Home, Airline Safety, Chief Pilot Office, etc." No Air Region Tab.

You're in the wrong place. You're on the "Flight Ops" page that we see in the crew room.

You have to use this sign in: www.remote.ups.com

After you use your RSA token, there will be a menu. Flightops is one of those choices, but that's not where you want to go. You need to click on "Inside UPS" and follow the above instructions.
