UPS Announces Plans to Hire Pilots by the End of 2014

UPS announced today that it plans to hire 40 new pilots by the end of 2014. These new positions are a result of attrition and anticipated retirements.

UPS continues to assess business and economic conditions and will make future staffing decisions accordingly. It is because of our considerate approach to managing our business that we are in the position today to add these new crewmembers.

The company’s business needs will dictate the timing and pace of future job opportunities. As always, we must continue to focus on running a safe, on-time airline and taking every available opportunity to grow our business.

Do you really want to work here? Here's your chance!

I don't believe it unless aflouisville confirms it

Its about time!! lets hope this is just the beginning

Management here couldn't run a Laundry Mat. Or a Dog Show for that matter.
We just got our last guys back this week and they are now going to Hire? Do they have any Idea what they are doing? No is the answer.

They don't know what retirements are 6 months ago? It looks like the guys should have been back months ago. What's going to happen this peak with no contractors? We, in my opinion, should have a open time ban, and work to the book. Taxi at 3 mph, etc. IMO. This is a start towards a descent contract.

Retirements is obvious, but attrition? Who's leaving UPS and where are they going?

The only attrition is management losing business. Scott Davis has blown DHL, TNT and Postal Contracts yet has gotten massive raises and bonus payments, and has been CEO FAR too long...it's time for Max Profit to go Gecko some other company.

Sad part is the next in line is another Wharton-Gecko clone (current CFO) that also has no interest in customer service and revenue growth...all they care about is cost control at all costs.

Odds are they got wind that the cargo cut-out is going away, which BTW is SOLELY due to the efforts of IPA.

Will there be an application window? Or apply via UPS web site? Or Air Apps?

Thanks!

Mr. White

Is that the same as a concessionary contract?:rolleyes:
