I don't think so. When that link is up everyone sees it. At that point, anyone who meets the minimums can apply. They close it as soon as they get a predetermined number of applications in. That is why you need to check every day. On the days it has been visible, I have not run into anyone who didn't see it vs. someone who did. I know we are talking about UPS here, but that's a little too consipiracy theorish I think.

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.

can't update or submit a resume until they are interested in you...
I got speak with HR today to clarify a few '07 application questions. Basically, if you have an "on file" application in the system you are pretty much done until you are invited to proceed in the the hiring process. That means no updates or resume submissions until you are invited to do so. I take that to mean if your file has gone active, good news is on your way or has already arrived...
Also, for those who are hoping for a second interview, there appears to be no rule on when that could be, if ever. They said you can reapply at the beginning of the next calendar year, but if, for example, you interviewed in Nov/Dec of one year, you wouldn't be getting a call the next January! I asked if they used 6 months as a rule of thumb, but didn't get a straight answer. I think exp96 on this forum interviewed in Oct and is already invited back for the assessment--so I'm guessing it's a possibility!

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'm a little confused about the '07 App. I applied on 12/28/06 and can pull up my stuff at any time through my SSN and my job inquiries. It also says ACTIVE under the status bar.
Since I applied at the end of '06 and all my info seemed to transfer over to '07, is there anything else that needs to be done.

If I understand the other posts and UPS application process, you still HAVE TO apply for 2007. For some reason, the computer system does NOT purge or remove or deactivate the old application. However, as far as I can tell, they do not use the old one for calling people in 2007. Someone I think was called in January off of the old one, but it's my understanding that as we get into 2007, they are only going to use new applications submitted in 2007.
Perhaps you'll get called, and I would still by all means keep updating it and logging in from time to time. Perhaps you can track them down at a job fair and mention you've been in the system since 2006.
Let us know what you find out.
