Default Nepotism at UPS

I was turned down over 10 years ago because my uncle was a captain for brown...but he has since retired.

Anybody knows if I can have another shot at the interview when hiring resumes?

Interesting comment. How bad is it? I know money isn't everything (the $$ appears good at brown).. would anyone quit this place over lack of progress/future? Possibly take a pay-cut at a "lesser" outfit with brighter future?

I know pilots talk big...but we are mostly chicken $h5ts deep down.

If you don't mind being moved to Alaska and furloughed and possibly burning to death in an airplane due to a cargo fire cause UPS won't implement any real safety measures then throw your name in the hat again when they start hiring in 5 years. Oh, and NURPs (non union replacement pilot) being hired while you are furloughed. If you don't know about this issue I suggest you do some more homework.

Why would having an uncle there prevent you from being hired?

My advice: stay away. I would never recommend this place.

A lot of hot air. The truth is in the details, how many voluntarily quit UPS to go anywhere else. I know it has happened, but not much. When the quitting gets into serious numbers then there will be a response.

Until then, that's the answer, all the rest is whining and BS.
