It was a humorous opportunity to remind everyone that these posts are monitored by EVERYONE with any skin in the game (UPS, FAPA, etc.).
I'll look back later and try to find the specific posts mentioned.

There were others also with regards to current hiring.
Hope that helps

The point that FAPA was making is that forums are not necessarily the best source of useful information. There was nothing negative taken from the OPs question.

Well that’s a shame. Many of us only come on here to offer legit and straight forward information. Over a year ago when I was trying to get hired I used this forum to gather insight on UPS. Several pilots stepped forward and gave me good pointers. And actually still do...
Over the past few months several candidates have reached out to me for advice. I’ve given my honest assessment, and shared my journey. There is certainly plenty of banter and drama around APC, but hidden in the depths are jewels of knowledge about the company and the process of getting hired.
