In freight dog years, that 3 year gap is like 3 weeks of seniority ;)

:D

Hahahahaha!

Junior CA on the second mock bid is a 8/05 hire.

Yep, and I think that will go a bit more senior when the bids close next week. Still don't see some senior guys on there that say they are going to upgrade. My guess will be 06/2005-07/2005 as junior Captain.

Wait, what?

It was solidly into 2006.;)

Question regarding training. Is UPS AQP? What is the typical training footprint? Where is training and is it paid? Any additional info regards what a newbie should expect would be appreciated.

Yes, UPS is AQP.

Newhire training typically takes 8-10 weeks from Day 1 through completion of sim training, depending on fleet. Pattern is most often 5 on/2 off, though not necessarily weekends. Training for 757, A300 and MD11 is in SDF with 747 and MD11 training in ANC (I think ANC-based people can expect to train for the plane up north). Training pay is guarantee (75 hours every four week pay period @ 44.72/hr), with half guarantee paid every two weeks. Single occupancy hotel is provided through end of sim training for newhires, but no per-diem. Uniforms, suitcase, EFK (iPad) and EFK bag are provided at no cost to newhires.

Boilerup. Thx. Great intel.

Training Timeline
 

For those trying to plan their future, it should be noted that in 2007 training exceeded 14 weeks for some. This was primarily due to the MD11 sim breakage. Although the probability of a sim breakage is remote, training capacity may be an issue in 2017.

Great info!

What's the dress code during training?
