Depending on how the latest system bid shakes out, new-hires could be going into the new MD11 ANC domicile in the near future.

Typical UPS. Can anyone one answer me this. If UPS is hiring 8 to 10 pilots a month, how does this equate to 150 hires by the end of the year? We have 5 months to go!

They tell you what they think you want to hear. Time to Vote NO and make UPS hire to fill the MD11 slots. Then we may reach 75 by the end of the year. UPS is Full of it again.

The hiring will pick up, it has got to! Retirements next year + a dozen widebodies means fresh blood needed. I think the training center will be swamped with the latest system bid and new hires running at 20-month.

This still doesn't equate to 150 New Hires. Hiring may pick up, but I see 30 to 40 new hires by Jan.07, NOT 150! Do the math, it's easy. Unless they start having 20 New hires every two weeks, they lied. Simple as that. They need this TA way worst than their letting on.

Voting No for those who care.

What kind of reserve time are new hires experiencing right now? How 'bout SDF?

You will be on reserve for a long time. You are talking years most likely. But hey, when the ta passes next month, anything is possible.

I got a line after a year. I got lucky. Who knows what the future holds.

Actually, no, I just get paid the same as you to just sit there and look pretty.
Less responsibility for the same pay, it's nice.
