Thanks HP and KME, had no idea...
_____
PS. Also, apparently they're still hiring managers into the training center? :-(
I'm guessing there aren't enough ipa volunteers? (don't know this for a fact)
Even with the recent, minor improvements for our IPA instructor-volunteers I bet you a commutable schedule will still be difficult to obtain..

Beginning with pay period 17-08, UPS will invoke Article 1.A.4. of the contract to allow crewmembers to pick up open time on vacation days (VAC). The Company will also invoke Article 13.K.11. for pay period 17-08, to allow crewmembers to be paid open time on top of guarantee. This change in policy was reviewed with the IPA's Executive Board in response to the current training surge. The combination of growth and elevated training events caused by the acquisition of the 747-8, contractual changes, attrition, and other network changes, is stretching our operational limits to cover flights and ensure timely service to our customers.
Earlier this year we reported to you that we planned to hire about 300 new pilots in 2017. We now expect that the number could be as high as 325. Based on current trends, hiring for 2018 looks to be similar. Thank you for your support during these exciting times of growth for our airline.

All airlines use 747-400 sims with -8 virtual procedure trainers taking care of differences training. (can anyone at atlas confirm this? I always thought Atlas had a -8 simulator?)

Furlough letters to follow when the "pinch" is over! Once people live at the hog trough they tend to stay there!! Believe the number was an incredible 75,000+ hours of open time gets picked up per year at UPS! Don't think anyone needs additional incentive for us to have LESS pilots!!

Let those who want to work work, and those who enjoy the time off do their best to get it.

You want to protect and increase upgrades? What happen to the limit on bid packet construction to 75-77 hours? Never happen. This is costing us hundreds of Captain slots. Now we have 87 hour lines. This effects upgrades way more than the company paying JA rates on OT. No one is talking about this forced overtime are they.
