Another hopeful.
Does UPS have a seniority calculator? If so, it for internal pilots only, or can you plug variables into it? Currently at a LCC, and pretty happy overall, but I'll be mid-50's before crack the top 2000 pilots. We have almost no retirements for another decade and everything is based on growth, and I've seen where that can end....

Hope this helps you build the big picture of this place in terms of seniority. Best of luck.

I don’t recall hearing any recent stories of extremely long pool sits. That could be due to the current hiring environment - people just aren’t waiting around for their number to come up -> taking other offers. My view from the cheap seats suspects they aren’t running a deep pool. Do they still ask for updates to your file as a poolie? I think we did those updates by fax back then(2014), believe it or not... A great opportunity to highlight any changes to your resume while a poolie.
If you are at another 121 carrier, consider jumping through our system during your pool lounging time. Check it all out. Talk to the crews. Get a feel / vibe of the joint. I’d keep going to the job fairs, not specifically for UPS, but definitely make a pit stop.
Good luck

I am pretty much in the same boat and I am making the move. I think the big question is do you commute? If you do, commuting is a lot easier at UPS. Retirements are in our favor being in our 30s, you are looking at top 25 or less when you retire. UPS is one of the top jobs in the industry, not only because of pay but also benefits Retirement, Health etc. Just my two cents, there are some great guys on the forum who will probably chime in and give you some more insight. It’s a tough choice for sure, good luck in whatever path you choose.
