Reapplying after turning down offer!
All
Hindsight being 20/20, I chose poorly selecting American over UPS this past January ... yes I'm an idiot.
Just curious if anybody knows anybody that successfully reapplied and for a job after telling UPS TBNT ( I did it very nicely )
My app went active but not sure when HR looks they will give me a second chance
Thanks
Nick

but otherwise there is at least a chance. You’ll have a lot more serious competition right now than you did then though.

You seem to have a good attitude about it all and I think there’s at least a chance - apply and hope for the best. Wish you luck!

Our HR folks frequently switch job titles within the company. So no one really knows how today’s HR team would look at someone who’d turned down a prior job offer? Once the job fairs resume, and eventually they will, I’d ask them in person.
If they hired you (Nick) it means they must’ve liked you. Therefore I still believe there’s a chance.

I suspect UPS, having hired furloughed pilots in the past believing they would stay instead of going back, will more than likely not entertain hiring someone after having been told “no thanks.”

There are probably some exceptions to the rule. I’m sure someone who has been diligently updating their app even if at a career airline would still have a chance. Someone who is just now applying for the first time, or turned them down, would probably be at the bottom of the stack IMO. Nothing against them or quals, it’s just sort the brown mindset.
Hope I’m wrong, but in all honesty, someone who never wanted to work at UPS and is now considering it due to the current environment...meh.

He is not asking if they will hire a furloughed AA guy. He is asking if they will hire someone who in the past was offered a job (at UPS), turned them down, and no wants to come after declining the job. Based on my experience, you have close to a 0% chance. You are much better off applying at Fedex.
