UPS Internship?
 

Just wanted to see if anyone could give me some information on UPS internships? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I applied for it last semester. 3.0 GPA requirement. I had a Captain walk mine in, and did not get a call back. It is extremely competitive. The one we had was for entire year and it paid $3000/month, it was in Louisville. Good luck.

Wow! $3,000/month, no wonder it's so competitive. Thanks for the info edik.

Amazing, interns make more than first year FO's!:rolleyes:

Yeah, that's what I was thinking

It is an excellent opportunity to learn new many skills, expand your knowledge of 121 training and the express shipping industry, and network with crewmembers...and yes, it is very competitive.

I am 99.9% you also get some MD11 sim time

The reason the internship pays more than a first year first officer is that usually the intern is not trying to kill you.:D

I don't believe that UPS interns get any company benefits either. I think that is another reason for the pay.

This is correct.

There is no compensation whatsoever outside of straight pay, and the salary paid to FTC Co-ops is the same as every co-op in the Air Group, from IE to MX to Finance.

You are also eligible for 401k and stock match from the company which is nice. It was better than 3k/mo plus semester raises.... Great deal for a year.


You will take systems training for the fleet to which you are assigned.


Yes sim time is part of the job. You take customers in the simulators and will likely fly well over 150 hours in the level D sims.

Great position and do a good job for a bright future with them.

I wouldnt trade that year for anything....Looking forward to getting back and flying for them.

Thanks for the info, everyone.

UPS is actively seeking a Flight Training Co-op. I have no idea why they are looking for somebody now, but its a GREAT opportunity.

Internship....
 

What are the requirements to be eligible for the internship? What is the length and how does one apply for the program?

Yeah, I called about the position and they said I was eligible as a UPS driver however, I would have to give up all my health benifits, educational benifits and half my wages for a year! I said " you're crazy"!

Any word on what happens once the internship is complete? Does anyone stay on in flight ops and go fly after some more time there? Others leave to build time and get hired with lower mins? If so, how low? Good info guys, thanks.

The FTC Co-op is a contract position. Once the contract is up, you're done - out of the position so somebody else can get that experience. There are no lower minimums or guaranteed interview for former Co-ops but the networking you do while working there (assuming you did a good job!) should be more than enough to help you once you meet publish minimums.

Nobody gets flight qualified unless they are hired specifically as a pilot.

Yeah, just don't do anything stupid like impersonating a MGT pilot and try to stir the pot during contentious contract negotiations. Not that the IPA would take notice or anthing and remember who you are.

I don't know why you are on this guys back. He did nothing of the sort. And I think I remember you calling him on it during negotiations. I don't know the guy, but I believe you are clearly mistaken.

Like I said when I came back to APC, I have no idea WTF you folks are talking about and I can guaran-damn-tee I didn't impersonate anybody on this forum.

I know BoilerUp and I can't see him doing that. I don't know WTF you are talking about either.

80for80/Freightnazi/Browntail strikes again. I would not give a second thought to this crap.

Sending in an application packet next week for this position.

Anybody know the address so I can put it on my resume?

It appears the posting has been removed from www.upsjobs.com

Try again in the fall; early September is typically when they start collecting resumes for the following year.

Got your PM Boiler, PM'D you back.
