Hey everyone,

Quick question. I am filling out my UPS application now. I am currently enrolled as a full time student online with Riddle (I am actually taking 14 courses between now and next summer to graduate!). One of the questions on the education question is "are you a student" which, technically I am. I answered "yes" And it gave me a drop down menu for class schedules.

My question is, should I leave this blank or should I answer no and just explain later?

So you want to start out your aviation career with a lie? If so, answer "No", if not, answer "Yes" and then fill out the rest. Just my opinion, but I'm sure others will agree.

Crazy Canuck,
Are you enrolled as an undergrad, or are you pursuing a Masters degree or higher? I'd say if your still an undergrad, don't expect a call till you have a degree. If your pursuing a higher degree I would highlight that on your resume and application.

Vito,

I'm doing my undergrad. Of course I don't expect anything until I graduate in a year from now. But my mindset has always been "apply apply."

On that note my resume is pretty clear that I'm in progress as is my application. Thanks for the input!

And that's what I tend to agree with as well but I figured I'd ask since the impression I got from the application is that the question was asking if I was attending classes at a brick and mortar institution, which I am not.

Crazy Canuck, I applaud your determination, and yes I would definitely let them know your still enrolled in College with an expected graduation date. Just curious, how much TT and PIC time do you have?

Sounds more than qualified to be a management pilot giving us check rides.

Vito,

Thanks for the words. 3850 TT, 1001 TPIC. Currently flying the 767 over in the ACMI world. Not getting too many hours though unfortunately!

In regards to the hiring pool. I received a call from UPS to continue the hiring process at the end of March. I was told UPS is not actively hiring, but increasing the pool in which they are planning to hire from. I took the Hogan assessment 3 days later and have had radio silence ever since (approx. 4 weeks). Is this standard?

I have been "in the pool" since February last year. Not waiting anymore. Too old for this.
