Checking the BROWN Pool!
 
Still treading here! Curious how many poolies are still around and if any are still updating to the FAX number on the pool letter?

Still here.

But the fax number didn't work last time I tried - kept getting a busy signal.

Man oh man, I'm not so sure I would want to swim in something called a "Brown Pool"...

Just a play on words as I did swim there at one time too!:cool:

I am still swimming myself. Update number didn't work last time I tried!

Still hoping for the best.... but, I have not heard anything from UPS.

My app is still "active". I am not sure what the deal is.

Hey swimmers, I wouldn't even think about getting a call for 3-5 years. Not very positive I know, but things here will not be better for quite sometime. Keep a positive attitude but be realistic.

I think you are probably right, but there are a lot of factors at play that could
change it a little either way....76's showing up, change in duty day, what we
do with the managers, age 65 retirements in about 2 years...gonna be intersting...

Thanks for the straight talk FR8T, we appreciate the information.

Please if you hear or see anything, any piece or scrap of information, please post ASAP. We all feel like we are in a communication black-hole.

Would it kill them to send us an email that says "hang in there, dont call us we will call you when we need you"? I guess it would, we are just pilots..... dime a dozen, necessary evil etc.

Rant over.....

That should give you an insight into how UPS treats its employees.

I wish you luck, but I do not predict any hiring until 2012.

Are you floating in the Brown pool or did you sink to the bottom?

Well, Johnny, There probably isn't even a "them" anymore to send that email. I think that the hiring department has moved on.
