What about a new phone number and address since the military moved you? Serious question - app is in, on file and relocating at the start of April, how do I update my contact info?

Friend of mine got the same. Able to update, with a button to schedule an appointment. But when he clicks it says something like currently no appointments available, check later by logging under My Applications

My 07 App also in the last day or so went from "On File" w/o have been sent any further testing to "Active" with the ability to check and print pages and upload a resume, none of which were possible back on 19 Jan when I created the 2007 app version. I didn't get the testing, congrats to those who have. If you managed to get a 2007 UPS application started in January but haven't gotten to an interview yet keep after it.

I think the tech weenies @ UPS got this little front-end application system that can tell who is looking for the UPS pilot job posting online at their upsjobs website and screens out those folks it is not interested in; by not allowing them to see the job and therefore they can't apply. This system allows only those pilots who it likes; to see the job ad and to apply. That way they (UPS) can't be sued for discrimination in their hiring. They can't be accused of discriminating against someone who didn't apply right? Why else would they not allow all qualified pilot to apply?

I was told by HR that they began this new process by using the same main application that they use for, say, box throwers. PD said that those applicants are able to schedule interviews on line (hence the button to schedule an appt). He assured me that this will not be the case for pilots even though the link is there. If people are able to update now, I don't know if that link is just there for everybody or what.

Oh I get it. The first 100 people to get in line for American Idol become the contestants for this years show. Everyone else is told to come back next time. That's a sure way to get the best talent. (sarcasm intended) What about those of us that seem to be working (or some other valid reason away from a PC w/internet access) during the 1-hr window when the app is up? It's not like these are job postings are preannounced so we can all be at our computers at 0001 when the doors are opened and hope we are caller 100 or less. Come on UPS, you can do better than this. Open the door for a week or more each time! Using peoples luck and timing to be a part of your hiring filter is not good HR.
