Anyone mind explaining the recent HR changes to those of us not in the know?

Is anyone willing to share a quick synopsis of their flight times and background for those of us who have not landed an interview (yet) and want to get an idea of where we stand with current hiring trends?


Much appreciated

I’m not sure anyone on the line knows what happened or why.

I received a line check a couple weeks ago from an FQS and he said they’re bringing back retired Managers to conduct interviews so the active Managers can be out flying the line (because we’re so short staffed). That was his theory- whether there’s truth to it or not, who knows?

He also said SDF knows we need to be hiring at max capacity right now, but Atlanta controls the puppet strings.

FQS lips were moving once again. Nothing to see here move along.

Mock #2

Dec 2006 held ONT Capt

I think lack of crashpads, besides the suck schedules, is what’s behind ONT going that junior.

No doubt.

And its still just a "mock" bid

Interviewed mid April.

Sim was first with BG (last name rhymes with Mass) and had two other retired Pilots sit in on the Sim and Interview. I don’t recall their exact names but I know one was named F (rhymes with Bank) and the other was a early retiree from the 74 both had military backgrounds. They were nice and polite and didn’t talk much as they were observing the Sim (had the 75, lasted about 30-40mins can’t imagine why it would take an hour). They did ask questions when they sat in on the Panel portion. Afterwards they took me to a Break room where they bought me a cup of coffee (Bob bought me a cup of coffee which was nice of him plus I needed it since I’m a coffee guy and it was 5am in the Gaw*da* morning MyTime) then i was summoned by Mr Parker for the Panal. LP in addition to a H.R. rep and those two other “consultants” were all present in a room. No gotchas, just straight forward stuff. I was not selected and it’s my fault, I know what I did wrong and could’ve done better. My advice... make sure you have nothing else going on in your life. You want to devote all your time preparing.

How I got the interview....
Two yrs ago I went to the Vegas FAPA fair in April and spoke with DT, didn’t pass the Hogan. Last Jan I filled out a new online UPS App and a month later automatically got the Hogan. Passed it in late Feb, Spoke with Mr Parker in early March Interviewed mid April.
34yrs old, 7000 hrs, 2000 Turb PIC, 4yr Degree, Flight Instructed, flew Part-135 gigs during the recession BankChecks/Courier stuff and Cargo prior to my current Regional.
Heading to an AMCI next month getting an MD-11 type with hopes of trying again or getting Purple’s attention.

Question to those in the UPS loop: Is it one interview attempt only and that’s it? Or can one try again in a year?

Hope this was informative
Stay well y’all

My sim eval was conducted by a new sim instructor who was being instructed by another instructor. Thus, there were delays just for the operation of the sim. So, my evaluation session lasted the full hour of sim time that had been allotted.

As far as prep, I cannot stress enough that you need to know about UPS; the entire company, not just the airline. I spent months researching and studying and it paid off. They asked a couple times what and how I studied. I truly believe that this in-depth knowledge and passion I showed for UPS is what got me into the pool.

Now, I just need to get a class date.
