OmniP,

You've had good info before, I'd be quite content if this truly happens.

SD

 

If anyone has been to class recently here, did you get the offical letter in time to give your 2 weeks notice?

 

I was going to try to help you until I read a recent post of yours calling the President an "a@@hat". I will now actively work against you ever being hired here. And yes, it's easy to figure out who you are between your posting here and on jetqueers.

 

Omni:

He (B200 Hawk) is right. Aside from that, no need to be a jerk , everyone is entitled to their opinion. You think you should not have been hired because of your political views ????

 

Wow. Really? Just can't stand to sit next to one of them lib'rals for the MHT turn huh? You must be a ton of fun to fly with.

 

1) Not a big fan of T but I disagree with you and B200Hawk on this; and that's ok.
2) Agree with you 100%
Omni - a person should be able to express his/her views without a threat of being blackballed. It's ok to say "I won't help" but to "actively work against that person" is wrong. Frankly, it's as un-American as it gets. Don't understand why you'd say that?

 

-----------------

 

I typically stay out of charged discussions like this since most people claim that everyone is entitled to an opinion until it differs from theirs, but I will throw out a couple of observations. I don't believe that name calling should be lumped into the "political view" category. If you can't express your views (no matter what they are) beyond words that the teenagers down the street would use when posting on a public forum, perhaps I can legitimately not want to work in a confined space with you. That being said, most companies (including UPS) have a process for hiring people that the organization believes would be a fit for their culture. I don't think it is "un-American" to highlight an individuals actions to the team responsible for hiring and let them make the judgement that they have been tasked to do (although "actively working against" is over the top in my opinion, unless you are in that role at the company). If you change the words around to something less accepted in today's environment (sad I have to say that about name calling the President of the United States), I think we can all come up with a scenario where we would find this appropriate. Personal responsibility is, or at least used to be, one of the tenets of American society.

Bottom line, to bring this back to the topic of this thread - It is exciting that UPS is hiring so many great people with different and interesting opinions. I hope that they never have to lower their standards so that we all can enjoy going to work -- and perhaps we might hear a viewpoint we hadn't considered.

 

Hehehaha. Get over yourself.

 

Although I'm relatively senior, OCV has changed my life for the better. Two consecutive two week vacation blocks officially gave me 88-91 days off from my last three landings. I used to take both June and July off, but this year I'm off from mid June to mid September on the same four week vacation block.
