alright, I am probably being stupid but I need to ask. At the end of my
UPS interview I was asked what I would like to fly at UPS. I told the
interviewers that the 727 would be neat before it is gone ( I was an engineer on it at a prev job and would love to fly it) or that the 747 would also be neat, but really, anything with a brown tail is fine for me. They wrote down 727 and 747 and that was that. I wouldn't think that it has any bearing on when/what you get for a class date, but the recently hired guys that I know at UPS all got what they said they would like in the interview. I assume that when your number is up for class it is up regardless of what is avail (except for the heavy/international guys of course) and you will get what you can with seniority in the class. Not trying to read into that question too much but just curious....

 

You'll be fine. I don't think your answer as that much bearing on it. You'll most likely be in class soon so it won't matter. I understand being anxious though.

 

I was asked the same question and actually answered the 727 for the same reasons as you. At the end of the interview I was asked, "we know what your wish list is, but would you accept any aircraft in the fleet?" Naturally I said yes, and will probably get MD-11 ANC, but I will gladly accept it.

Cheers!

 

Perfect answer!

 

A friend of mine interviewed in July and he told them he wanted the MD-11. When he was hired he got the MD-11.

 

at the end of my interview they asked what would be my dream aircraft assignment at UPS and i told them my dream assignment would be 757 capt out of miami.....think that'll happen? haha

 

Congrats to all of you recently hired by Brown. For any of us waiting for a call, are there any recent trip reports out there? I haven't found anything newer than Jan 06. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Here are a couple of more recent interview experiences. I am hoping to add my own to it very soon.

 

Thanks for the links Tiger. Have you already interviewed? If so, when? Best of luck to you with Brown!
