How to apply for a pilot pos. with UPS?
 
Website gives no info. Any specific person to talk to? Any specific job fair to attend? Any specific interview prep service or gouge? Does hard work and good quals count for anything?

Thanks in advance fellows.

As to where to apply, I googled “UPS Pilot position” and it was the first link. I have learned most everything else you asked by reading the posts here.

Just how much effort have you put into it?

I honestly can't tell if you are trolling, or genuinely could not figure it out.

-------------------

Google "apply for UPS pilot position"

Click the VERY FIRST LINK

Click the "search jobs" box in the upper right corner, type "pilot" into the keyword box, then click "Search"

Scroll down

This cracks me up. Really, really cracks me up.

Hey Boiler

I was just being a smart@ss. Of course I’ve had my app in at ups jobs, and have faithfully updated for years. I’m up to speed on how to use “google”. Clearly, I’m missing something tho. Just trying to figure out that magic bullet, that’s all.

The folks on Sully’s plane are quite fond of “experienced, well trained crews”. Seems like experience is going into the negative column these days with some, unfortunately.

Been my dream job destination since 1989, but I’m running out of years.

A silver bullet to UPS? Heck, everyone wants one of those. The magic sauce seems to be:
1) Luck (ok... I kid)
1.1) luck (no seriously!)
1.2) Experience of some unknown mix of: a) probably greater than 7k hours, b) some time in heavy-ish, c) maybe some 121, and d) international
2) Internal Recs
3) Attendance at a job fair. (maybe move this up or down in the list)

Of course, you'd have to be able to show you would fit with company, too. Before the job fair, get yourself up to speed on all of UPS, not just the airline portion.

Good luck!

Roll your D00 dice for your percentile of being looked at.
Next roll your D4 dice for your relevant experience level.
Next roll your D6 dice for your knowledge of UPS level.
Next roll your D8 dice for your job fair attendance level.
Next roll your D10 dice for your application update level.
Next roll your D12 dice for your skills and abilities level.
Next roll your D20 dice for your pool longevity level.
Now that you have created your UPS Charactor you’ll enjoy many years of playing the “how do I get hired by UPS” board game. Don’t forget to ask the wizards for extra dice rolls to increase or decrease your levels!:D:D:rolleyes:

+1 to JungleJetDrive for explaining it for the nerds in the room. (Like me)

V12Merlin 12-23-2018 05:37 PM

Thanks to all....
 
Yes, luck definitely. Job fair, for sure on the list of things to do in 2019. Got all the other boxes checked except internal rec.

Anyway

God bless and Merry Christmas everyone.

Someone once told me that "luck" is where preparation meets opportunity...
For those who care, I had fairly low time (compared to my class mates) at 4500+ hours with that being all military (heavy). I never went to a job fair and I had 1 internal rec..... I think.
Just keep your stuff updated, and RELAX. When the call does come, be yourself. I looked at it from the stand point of "If the company doesn't like me for me, then that is not the company I want to work for." Never did a job interview prep, never looked at a prep for the HOGAN.... just did them as me, not what I thought someone wanted me to be. Good luck (preparation), and hope to see you on property some day. :cool:

ATI will soon be supplementing UPS lift like Western Global. I wonder if they give any preference for that during hiring. I know we have quite a few already going overthere.

If this has been your dream destination since 1989 and you are still not on property, you obviously have not tried hard enough.

Not yet. Came here wondering this too. Last year it was up almost immediately after midnight. Maybe later today?

That doesn't work anymore. The webpage makes you apply for Ameriflight. I've spent sometime now looking for the place to apply and haven't found anything. Even searching First Officer or Pilot on the UPS jobs page brings up nothing.

That is because the window is closed

It looks like a good link today or you can try this: https://airlinescareer.org/ups-airlines-careers/

I mean the link to start actually filling out the application. Looks like the reason I can't find it is because the window is closed as the other person said.

That’s correct, the application window closed a few weeks ago.
