You mean back to where it was when I was a new hire in 2007?

There were 150 FOs when I started at the ONT base in early '07. How many are there now? 96, correct me if I'm wrong...and that's including new hires from the 2015 classes that just consolidated, or aren't even qualified yet.

If they grew ONT from the 96 FOs by 50%, that would add 48 new FOs to the base, for a grand total of 144 FOs. Still a few shy of the number that was there when I was a new hire in '07. Growth? I don't think so.

Hellllllloooooo...it's peak in 4 months and again our Bros and sisters falling for bulls...t once again. It's happy time we're hiring and upgrading and now u can come to work without being herrassed from hamburger wrapping power tripping ups police . Things are looking up ONT is growing by 50% the 777 orders is right around corner more 400 is coming to sdf . Lima and santo Cruz are being looked at, more gateways ...ups is on the same page with ipa and giving more responsibility to ipa and less managers. They recently hired a firm and paid 20 mil $ to see how they can run the day to day ops with less managers. GMAFB SOSDD

Does anyone know how many pilots are in the pool and how long have they been swimming?

Yes

Yes

But the answer would come from HR management.

Not this forum ... sorry

They would have been purchased already except ups is in a fight with Boeing on how much to adjust the price for the removal of the headrests and potable water system.

Also trying to decide on whether to go with regular Velcro or industrial Velcro to keep the cockpit curtain closed.

UPS will pay more for the seats without headrests. The water system will be CDL'd/MEL'd before delivery.

And the curtains will not be required.



Back to the trenches

It is really a tactical advantage. After eating our superb catering, there is usually a high speed bombing run and it saves a lot of lives.
