Contract negotiations started last week, and I believe improved schedule manipulation is an important objective.

What that might ultimately look like, we'll all find out when a TA is announced.

 

Thats good to hear! There’s only a few things in my research that I’ve to be better at FX. This coming from someone who interviewed early last week and is awaiting the final word.

 

Anyone know if there’s a July 30 group chat?

 

Wondering the same thing.

 

I am looking for clarification on what feels like a kinda dumb question; how does award/assignment to aircraft type and domicile work for new-hires? From what I understand, seniority is established by age in your class group (oldest = most senior). But is initial fleet/domicile then bid on by seniority? Or is it assigned by UPS, with preferences maybe/maybe not considered?
Thanks

 

I did a lot of research on UPS a couple years ago, during the last time y'all were hiring hot and heavy. Now with a CJO in-hand, I am trying to reconstitute my UPS knowledge base so I can form the best picture I can of what I'm getting into. There are a number of threads running from as far back as 2017, but particularly 2021 timeframe that address topics like type of schedule, commuting, and some commentary about company culture/employee relations. Particularly I see a lot of info contributed by Boiler, FTv3, Brownnose, etc that is really in-depth. I know there are some differences (there's lots of references to what was happening at the time re: COVID, prolonged high-tempo ops, etc), but is the majority of that info still basically relevant? I am correct in thinking there really have not been major changes contractually since that time?
I have a bucket of questions, but I'm trying to keep from asking things that people have already given good complete answers to.
Thanks folks

 

I don't think much has changed from the hiring boom of 2022.

 

Was wondering the same. Keep me posted!

 

I’ve posted a lot of really detailed schedule info over the years. Might be under FTv2 of FTFF. Search UPS schedules - On one of the posts I linked all the ones I could find. I basically did a snapshot of different types of pairings and lines that we have.

 

Correct, seniority in class is oldest to youngest. Classes are one day apart so those in 747/MD class will be senior to day 2 class. Fleet and domicile preferences are submitted and awarded in seniority order the first day or two.
