You tell me why you'd want to work at UPS and we'll start there.

Side question, so you say "eagle pilot' but aren't you at psa? hmmmm

Wrong. The SOC change applies only to the 'cactus' to 'merican' operations.

Sorry bub but you have it all wrong. Quit while you're ahead and save yourself embarrassment. PSA is currently painting all their airplanes to say American Eagle. All new airplanes being delivered from the factory say American Eagle. If you are really lucky, one day you will be able to ride on one, as a passenger of course as we cannot hire you.

It is what an interview should be. Tell us about yourself and we will teach you what we want you to know if we think you would be a good fit.

Oh yeah, no psych evaluation where God help you if you sit in the wrong chair.
After Capt. Whackadoodle pulled his deal last year. That needs to change. And I'd bet that if it hasn't it will soon.

You want to spend thousands of dollars being coached how to pass an interview by a guy who works or worked at the airline, be my guest. It is a scam and I want no part of it. You were part of the pay to play group back in the day huh?
