new hire F/Es
 

Now that the company is allowing all probationary crewmembers to bid on this vacancy will we have any under age 60 F/Es after 1 Dec? Sounds like we'll be hiring many F/Es and F/Os for some time to come, especially if the Age 60 dies...

Precontact,
Yes. A bunch of of the 60+ folks are pulling the plug at the end of January and will be short of S/O's causing newhires to be sent to DC-8 etc.
Likely will continue. Age 60 question may change a whole lot though. UPS lives day to day on these decisions (At least my perception after talking with the Training Schedulers for awhile now)

When it comes to interview/getting a job at UPS advice, I pretty much agree with all of 1800 RVR's posts.

All our times here are good, except the ones that aren't;)

What exactly is causing the age 60+ folks to pull the plug? Does it have something to do with the new contract?

YES! you can say that.

Curiosity is a good thing. And, if you're not JM, curiosity is also a fun thing. ;)

I think you have been flying a bit too high if you know what I mean;)

Yes. I know exactly what you mean. I should take it down. No problem. Consider it done, dude. -- At least we are talking now, right? Grateful to this discussion board for making it possible. Happy Thanksgiving, JM! :D

Barrel rolls around the space shuttle, baby! Oh, yeah.

You're so right, though. In order to really give your remarks the kind of careful attention they deserve, I mean -- in order to really discuss this properly and to help as many people as possible, meet me at the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on top of the Kaden Tower!:D
