Unfortunately spent my younger days running a flight school to pay my way through my certifications/flight hours instead of "wasting" time on a college degree.

i know you ask about UPS. How close are you to flowing to AA from PSA? Is that your back up plan?

Is it possible to get hired at ups with heavy international time, a college degree, but no TPIC?

Not that I’ve ever heard.

Handful of new hires in last 7 years without degrees but all ridiculously well-qualified. TPIC is essential.

Window opening

Does anybody have any guesses on when the next window could open? I have been checking in on UPS, but have not seen any FO positions posted.

Short version, we don’t know. Best guess is 1 January 2022. They were flooded with so many highly qualified pilots that they no longer felt the need to leave the window open. At least, that’s the WAG most folks have gone with. Management rarely shares many useful insights into hiring. The last management guy I heard talk about hiring was suggesting it would be more than 300 this year. We are roughly halfway there already. Just ran into a few more today and they were as in the dark as I am.

Who knows? If it saves them 1¢ - probably not until the next year.

We might go back to the way things used to be - a relatively brief application window - 1-3 months long.
So they might open it in January of 2022 and close it a few months later? That’s how they did it for years. ..but who knows, they might reopen it tomorrow?

Is the estimate to hold SDF 747 still around 2 years?

Impossible to say until the next system bid. The rumors that I've heard are that it *may* come down, since presumably all of the way senior people who wanted it already got it, but that's a guess/rumor. It has also been suggested to me that being slightly more senior in ANC and commuting may be preferable to being the plug in SDF. Time will tell.

I would say one or two system bids...when they happen is the real factor to decide. Growth is all in SDF for 74. Next system bid will be telling i'm sure. Plenty of folks who bid SDF are ready to bid back to ANC already so who knows. Too much domestic flying in the future for SDF 74s is scaring away the long time international folks.....roll the dice

Interesting.. haven’t met anyone yet who’s contemplating that? Most, if not all of the senior folks LOVE the domestic flying on the 74. It’s become the thing to do in the Covidian World. Probably won’t change for a while but then again, who knows..
