Regarding aircraft assignment
What are the chances for a UPS pilot being assigned to the 747?
Is it possible for a new hire to be assigned to one, like with Atlas?
If no, how long would one have to build seniority in order to get a spot in the 747? I'm also assuming a Boeing aircraft type rating would work in one's favor.

He’s kidding. Sort of. We had a new hire who lived in ANC get assigned the A300. Seriously.
Initial seat lock is 18 months. One pay scale so bid whatever you want, wherever you can hold it. Airbus, ONT, and 757 domestic are a bit more junior than the rest, but it’s pretty level overall.

Initial seat lock is 18 months. Keep in mind if the company sticks with 2 bids a year you need to be prepared for up to 2.5 years in your initial assignment.
For example January 2019 hires will most likely have to wait until the winter bid in 2021 due to the timing of their lock running out. Then the wait for class could be over 6 months. I believe they have a class from the December bid that starts in August on the 74.
