Jan/Feb classes
 

New year. New hires. Good luck.

Any calls??? I did get all my disclosure forms added to my application followed by the multiple other forms that need to be filled out prior to training.....waiting on a call for a firm offer :D

After getting the CJO, I was told verbally by Jean Thompson that I’m in the January 28th class. I haven’t received any disclosures or other forms whatsoever. Should I be concerned?

No. I got call from Jean 10 days before class date last year with FJO. Background should come back in about 7-10 days after CJO, if not super complicated.

Anyone know class drop for Jan 4?

4 Jan drop

SDF
2x 75 Intl
5x 75 Dom
10x A300

ONT
4x 75

MIA
5x 75

Also 1x longterm medical returnee on 75 (not included in the numbers above).

Any Feb class dates yet?

Class of 30 on 1/28.

Myself and a friend have a CJO for a February 25th class date. So there is at least one class date in February.

Congrats! How long of swimming in the pool will that be for you both? Any idea how big the pool is?

Did you get your drug test done?
I was told on my CJO call that they were wanting to try to get me into the 28th class as well. Hopefully Ill see you there.

Hopefully today is the day of some calls going out!!!!

Is January all filled up already....as in....no more calls for this month?

I did my drug test quite a while ago. I was told the same thing. Looking forward to seeing you there too.

Entered the pool in Oct, CJO in November. Sorry, I have no idea how big the pool is.

Got CJO
 

I received a CJO a few days ago for the 29 Jan class. 70 days in the pool. 43 days from interview to pool letter.

Did you two go to job fairs?

Anything else you can think of that helped get you the call?

Basic stats and backgrounds?

I know we are all reluctant to post personal info but it really helps others trying to get the call.

CJO with Stats and my experience
 

TT: 3500 all military
PIC: 1700 (800 of which is single engine turboprop)
C-17 time (Heavy International) 1600 hrs

I attended job fair in July, a week after I submitted my app, (4 months from my availability date). I also got an internal rec the same week. Several weeks and months later, I got 2 more internal rec's.

I am almost certain the job fair did it. HR gave me their business card and told me to call them the next week and I did. The phone interview (basic questions as posted other places) occurred 1 week later. I was given the Hogan right after that. Then 5 weeks later, got a call to set up an interview that was another 4 weeks away. Pool and CJO as posted above.

I really think the job fair was vital, but I didn't have my app in long enough to know if my application and 1 internal could have secured the interview (it said "active" when I finished it). All the airlines at this particular career expo didn't seem to care that I was there, but UPS read my resume, talked with me for a while, and made me input my email into their IPAD for tracking purposes. That was my one and only job fair. And UPS has been my one and only interview and CJO. I had apps in and 3 internal recs at each of the big 3 airlines for 7 months now. Strange right?

The hiring pool was frustrating and long because I thought I screwed something up at the interview, but perhaps I was being too hard on myself. I was surprised to get the pool letter so late too. I just think they are busy and the process is slow.

Thanks to all on here who posted so I could gain insight into this process, and I hope all can gain from my experience.

I just tried to post a large overview of my experience and a message quickly flashed that it was going to the moderator for review. We'll see what happens.

29th or 28th?? If it's the 28th, I'll see you there!

Great to see the IPA email today! What a great cross section of new-hires. Military, Corporate, Regionals, International, ACMs.... UPS does an excellent job of hiring in my opinion.

And remember... as my famous mentor told me. UPS prints your paycheck, and the IPA tells them the amount to put on it!

Welcome aboard.

CJO with Stats and my experience
 

2nd time posting:
TT: 3500 (all military, mostly C-17)
PIC: 1700, with 800 being in a single engine turboprop

Timeline:
In July 2018, app completed and "active". 1 week later, got 1 internal rec in and attended job fair. Called HR the week after that (as instructed), Capt called me back days later with phone interview, then Hogan. 2 weeks after passing the Hogan, got invited to interview scheduled for 7 weeks later. Pool and CJO as posted above. 2nd internal rec came in about 3 weeks after my app was complete, 3rd internal rec came in 4 weeks after the interview.

Job Fair: At UPS's booth I talked with a FO who asked me to put my email address into the company IPAD for tracking purposes. After a few introductory questions, he tapped the HR person on the shoulder and said "this guy is exactly who we are looking for." HR person talked with me, then said to call her next week. That would not have happened without attending a job fair, however, I didn't have my app in long enough to know if my background alone could have gotten me further along (not likely).

The pool was frustratingly long because I thought I screwed up the interview and getting no feedback for 6 weeks after the interview didn't help. Sounds like the hiring department is just very busy.

UPS is my 1st choice and my only interview & CJO in this 7 month period. I have apps in at all Majors, and with the big 3, I have 3 internal recs at each and still no contact. Strange right?

You need to get your eyes checked! G550 is an ugly ‘ol boy, but at least he’s fun too hang out with!!! 😏

You didn’t mind our date night at the pizza joint in Cologne! I even shaved my legs. [emoji12]

Firm Job Offe today for the January 29th Class. Excited to be here finally.

Congrats! Bring long-johns, it could be really cold the day you do your ride along.

I heard they stopped doing that. Or maybe I heard wrong. I enjoyed the experience, makes you appreciate how hard the drivers work.

One class back last year did not do it for a reason I don’t exactly remember, but pretty sure still doing it. I certainly gained a better insight and appreciation as to what our drivers endure day in and day out.

Jan 5th class did the ride along. (Secondhand knowledge)

anybody else in the 29th? seems quiet.....do I suck so bad they figured I needed special training:D

Good call on the long johns!!!!

I'm in that class (with a CJO currently). Did you get any emails regarding ROE's, schedule, dress, expectations? Long johns-check!

Anyone in the 28/29 Jan class know if the class split is firm or will they join it together again due to 74 training backlog, like the last few month's classes?

...to answer a previous question, I did attend a job fair and I believe it was vital to getting the invite to interview.

Or shorts. It could be 5, or it could be 80.

I received the firm job offer welcome email today for the January 28th class.

Super excited!

80 in January in Muhammed Ali airport is pushing a bit 😬😬.

We welcome you with open arms!!
