The UPS training center is feeling the squeeze with all the transitions, upgrades, and current new hires learning their new plane.
The next few weeks should yield more info on future class dates.
When movement happens at UPS, it happens FAST. You can sit for years as a bottom FE, then in one big bid hold right seat on a widebody with guys coming in underneath you.
Everyone getting hired has had an internal recommendation, so keep that in mind once you've met UPS minimums...

Click here for the UPS Flight Officer job page. For a while it was taken down, but it's back up now.

Read a post on another board that stated UPS somewhat differentiates between those with turbo-prop and those with jet times ie.a person with jet time would get the nod over turbo prop? Any truth to the statement?

25% success rate
Bill Norris, UPS pilot hiring manager, stated in the latest UPS Dispatch that 25% of the pilots interviewed get hired.
Does anybody know how UPS hands out rejections? Is it on the spot, or weeks later?

"The thought of leaving a 75K a year job as a delivery driver to flying for peanuts to build time seems pointless when I can pay to build time"
You can't pay to build 1000 PIC turbine. Even with UPS pilots pulling for you, which is key, you still have to meet the normal mins.
