Why is it so hard to get on at UPS?
Hell, I'm talking about any technical job! I am a engineer at atlas/polar for both fleet types and can't even get so much as a postcard thanking me for my resume. I thought that having -400 exp. would help but it doesnt.

At any rate, I do have some vendors that come from time to time, and they tell me that the UPS culture is very stifling, stiff and ultraconservative. They say Iwouldnt be happy because it's not ""dynamic" like it is here where one guy will wear 3 hats at once.

What do you think office life is like there?

You have to have an internal referral to get hired at UPS last I heard. Do you have this already?

The two engineers I knew there years ago retired. So I am out in the cold.
Wierd, I was the vendor in charge of setting up spares for the A300 (I was the fdx rep too) and even my A300 background didnt help 7 yrs ago, and now my -400 exp. doesnt help either.
Its ok, one day I'll hit the lottery and never look at another airplane again.
