Excellent time to join UPS. Lots of movement with the last vacancy award, A/C deliveries and retirements.

Congrats on the CJO and class date! How long had you all been in the pool? I was placed in the pool December 3rd.

Congrats on making it this far. Unfortunately, due to UPS not using a competitive pool and not a first in first out pool system, others’ experience may have little bearing on your swim time. If you stand out compared to your fellow swimmers, you will be in class within a couple months. If you barely made it into the pool, it could be awhile. Moral of the story, keep applying elsewhere and hopefully you get a class date before we lose you to someone else.

Long story short management’s numbers show a need to already be at 3100 pilots. That said we have historically run very lean.
