Once you're in the pool there's not much you can do. Just sit tight, enjoy your pre-UPS days to the fullest extent, and know that you're just a phone call away from sitting in class. Cool, huh? The hardest part will be the wait. But hey, it sure beats getting the "no thanks" letter. |
Thanks for the info. I feel very lucky to be going to UPS. I just wish I did it 5 years ago! I will let you know when I hear something. Thanks for posting all the great info. Fly good

OOTSK,
As a current poolie let me tell you that the FC is right. I have been in for 7 months now and still waiting....... It goes by the score they gave you on your interview. The better score the early you will get pulled out. BUT, when others interview after you and get a better score then you, they get pulled out before you. The best advice is just to forget about UPS. I was told expect to be pulled out very soon. That wa back in Feb. So I sat around and did nothing that I wanted to do. Too busy saving my money for the big $$ cut. Well, the hell with it. I have been out doing what I want, remodeling the house and whatever else for the past 3 months. So, a poolie letter is better then a 'no thanks', but at least you don't hang out wait for a call. Becuase it is just over. Met a guy who has been in the pool for 3 years. He did the re-interview and was placed back in the pool a second time. Have a nice day |

Pax2cargo,
Thanks for the info. I am glad I have a job right now for the time being. I won't be quick to turn in my letter of resignation. Thinking back on my interview, I really didn't get any feedback. I quess I will just wait and try not to let it drive me crazy. Godd luck to you and hope to see you in class or on line. |
I met some UPS recruiter named Andy Solum in the early 90's at a FAPA job fair. He was so bizzare that I decided against even applying. Is that guy still around? I know he was only one person, but it sure seems strange that UPS would select such a "strange agent" to represent them. :confused:
|
I dont know this guy personally, but strange can be normal here...LOL
excluding present company that is... |
Next UPS Class

Hey Red Griffin, did you fly S-3's at VS-38?

Seems like forever......

Congratulations Red! Do you think you'll be able to fly the -400 sooner here at UPS than if u waited for the recall at UAL? :)
|
Congrats Red!
Congrats Red! You'll love it here. I know a ex-UAL guy here, and he said he'll never look back. I would guess that most likely you'll have a good chance to get the 757. It seem to be the a/c in which most hiring is happening. Good luck on the med. and we'll see you down here soon.

Great news, Red Griffin!
Hopefully a new contract will await you around the time of your new-hire dinner ;) |
