Mine still says "Active" Tried to re-apply, but no FO position to apply for. Am I missing something? e-mail said to re-apply after JAN 2.

 

I'm not one of the doom and gloom guys on here, I'm squarely in the middle (I don't love it, nor do I hate it), but this is typical UPS. They can't figure out what they're doing today, much less 6 months down the road. Sorry you're being yanked around, but that's the way it goes around here.

 

Ya, I'm afraid this is some of that "New World Order" stuff we were promised. Seems to be the norm for large corporations these days. Thanks for the reply!

 

The FO listing was pulled down around Thanksgiving, and today is the first day of the first workweek after the holidays...I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Give it a week or two (or ten?) and you'll probably see the posting reappear on upsjobs.

 

FO posting was up today. I reapplied (I was even prompted to change my password).

Sadly, after filling in all the boxes, checking all the marks, when I got to the end it said something akin to, "we receive a lot of applicants for few positions, at this time your app is no longer under review." (or some iteration of that.....)

This didn't happen the during the last window. The only thing that has changed is my flight hours have gone up. I wonder is pushing 12,000 TT and 10,000 PIC (6,000 turbine PIC) is putting me over the limit of their desired candidate?

Went back and loaded my browser history, here is what was displayed once I finished my application:

"Thank You

We have received and reviewed your background application information. Unfortunately, we currently have many qualified applicants and will not be able to schedule you for additional testing at this time. Thank you for your interest in UPS."

 

Bummer, sorry to hear that. I'm curious, did you have a UPS pilot recommendation? Did your previous app say "Active" last time around?

 

Previous app says/said active.

My one good connection at UPS that could vouch for my flying abilities and personal/professional integrity lost his life to illness late last year. It was a real drag to find that out when I called his house to ask to take him up on the offer for the recommendation he promised me so many years ago....

 

My app went to "on file" first week of December, I just re applied and back to active on new app.

 

I sure hope I'm just tired and am reading your above post wrong, but I bet it must have been a "real drag" for his family too. For totally other reasons of course. Again, if I read your post incorrectly, I apologize.

 

Seriously.....

I guess he should have gotten his act together and sent in that recommendation before he died. Can't count on people for anything these days.
