Update from what I got out of the NGPA conference. Spoke to current line pilot and an internal rec got me to one of the individuals on the hireing committee. Later went to the hireing briefing for UPS. They stressed on having a clean and neat resume with focus on your Total Time, Total Turbine PIC, Work History and any gaps in Employement, Education. Hireing decision was based on a scoring system. Depending on your experience depends on how many points you get on your app. Internal rec supposedly gets you more points. From this they take the highest first to get called for Hogan. Passing the Hogan and how you score gets you to the interview face to face and sim ride. This has its own scoring system as well. How well you do here puts you in the hireing pool. You swim the pool based on your overall score. When UPS gets extra trainging slots open, then they pull from the pool, highest getting pulled first until they fill their slots. UPS continues to pull and fill this pool with potentials, so if other people score higher than you, then you will be pushed back. I asked if they ever drain the pool and they said no, and asked how large the pool was. They wouldn’t say how large it was, but did say they didn’t have more than the number of pilots they plan to hire this year. Sim ride from what they said will eventually be the potential for any of the aircraft UPS operates, what sim you get depends on what will be available. The sim ride is all stick and rudder, no autopilot or flight director. Current new hire at the convention said it is tough, but their main focus is that they want to see if you can still be taught or learn something. I didn’t think to ask exactly how the scoreing works, but I will be at the WIA convention in a couple of weeks and will report back.
Hope this helps, good luck to everyone.

If he was referring to the sim eval, I will politely disagree. If you can’t actually keep a plane in the air after accumulating thousands of hours of flight time...keeping an airplane in the air.... maybe it’s time to rethink this whole pilot career thing.
Our sim eval is straight forward, no surprises, no emergencies, heading and altitude with a raw data ILS. Go miss when you are unstable or at mins, and that’s it.

Hi, I am in the pool since end of Jan. ‘19. I know I should be waiting for my call for a class date patiently, but since two person I know, whom have interviewed around same time with me, have got class dates already, so I guess I am becoming little inpatient.
My question here is: does attending Woman In Aviation conference and go talk to UPS would help me get a class date?
And also, by receiving a letter of placement into the pool, does this guarantee a class date in the future? Or some people would never receive an offer for the class date?
Thank you
