Upshiring
Hello All,
I tried to apply with ya'll the last window but couldn't get past the first 6 questions (1000) PIC. Sometime next year that should fix itself and I also have a 4 year degree. Beyond those two main things what makes a candidate competitive over there these days? From what I can gather it seems as though UPS will be slowly hiring for the next good while, any truth to that?
Every time I have given ya'll a ride or talk to ya'll I am always very impressed. Anyway, any info would be appreciated.

I'd love to hear something on this as well. I have been wanting to apply to UPS for a while now but can never figure out when the window is open. Is there some sort of voodoo (beyond knowing someone who is 'in the know') to find out when and where the application window is open?
Whenever I have searched on the web for pilot hiring at UPS, all I ever come across is the FQS position. I have read enough on here and talked to enough UPS guys to know to not touch that with a 10 foot pole. So I guess my question is when, where and how does one apply to be a 'normal' line pilot?

The "normal line pilot" posting will be for a First Officer.

The First Officer listing was up about a month ago - it must have been recently taken down. Pilots were reportedly still being interviewed into at least late September.
There is a hiring pool, rumored to be 50-100 people deep, with lots of talk of classes starting in the first few months of 2015. Of course only time will tell if that actually happens, and if it does, how many in the pool will still be available.
I would recommend checking the upsjobs website after the first of the year, and of course, following the Cargo subforum of APC
