Some people get called quickly, others are placed in a pool to drown…300 days and dying very slowly.

Interviewed at the end of February, after 30 days I reached out to my interviewer to ask for an update before getting the successful interview email. Got offered the July class (my availability doesn’t start until mid June) last week.

I believe everyone is acutely aware of your vigil. Maintaining that awareness, however, doesn't move you any closer to a class date. There are applicants at UPS, Delta, United, American, etc, that wait a long time to get a call, and may have to apply several times. I know people who have waited for years. Whether it's you, or them, or the economy, industry, ambient winds aloft, or cosmic rays, who knows?

A few years ago you posted here, when told to go to ATI, that you weren't interested in the little fish, and you had a better life as a senior regional first officer. Some suggested at the time that you bite the bullet, get the type and the time and upgrade, and get the experience. Had you gone that route, you'd be considerably more marketable now. You can't change that, but looking forward, you can do something to advance your marketability. Treading water waiting for a call that may or may not ever come isn't moving you closer or advancing your resume. If you're laser-focused on UPS and it's not calling, you may want to broaden your horizons. That doesn't mean you give up on UPS, but it's a very big industry out there, and hiring continues, albeit not at the post-pandemic hiring-boom rate.

The level of anxiety poured out in your running updates may not be helping your case. It's certainly getting you no closer to a hire date. If you're trying to advance your career, and one operator isn't hiring you, then find one who will and enhance that resume accordingly. You don't come close to the record for time before a class date or interview or job. You have decades to go to tie that, yet...it maybe a bit much if you keep posting every few days for the next twenty years about the tragedy of the call you don't have. Most would rather celebrate your success and would be delighted to see you post about the call you just got, even if it's not UPS, etc.

Apply everywhere, pick one, hire on, and post about it. All will be happy for you. Should UPS (et al) call with a class date in the future, all will be equally happy for you. This standing vigil, reminding the world day by day how many days you haven't been called, isn't working for you. Or anyone else. Others have commented on it, more than a few times. It's time to step up the application game and set your sights on more targets.

I'm pretty sure the HR people on Grade Ln. aren't monitoring APC. I'm not even certain that they've discovered the internet.

I'm not sure how you're measuring, but the Dow is off a little over 2000 from November. You are, however, quite correct that there has been a significant recovery since Capitulation Day.

Attempting to normalize not getting a call THREE HUNDRED + days after successfully passing an interview is absolutely top tier nuts JB.

I see it is an embarrassment to UPS Hiring. I am surprised BB still wants to work for UPS at this point.

I guess you see it differently.

While it’s not normal today, it’s not out of the ordinary for UPS. 04-07 there were people in the pool for over 2 1/2 years before getting called.
