UPS knows the demographics. They hired folks old enough to ensure a continuation.

I would submit even the 'kids' in the group are steadfast in support of maintaining/improving the FDA defined benefit.

I am a bit perplexed why UPS continues to hire “older” folks, unlike Delta, United, Fedex, which tend to hire younger.
I would say they are making the problem worse with the pilot shortage, by hiring younger the operator locks in a longer period of time the pilot will serve, therefore not falling into the same problem in the future.
Obviously we don’t have the UPS magic ball, but any opinions?

Most “younger” pilots (<40 and definitely <35) want to be at Delta and United because its more of what they know if coming from the regional world, and many younger pilots have been scared away from UPS because of posts right here on APC.
I’d also surmise many see the retirement waves happening at DAL/UAL/AAL/FDX and want in on that, rather than our own massive wave that starts in earnest a few years later than the others.
