I'm at Purple not Brown BUT I can't find anyone to talk to me on the phone at 3:30 in the morning. These guys must be a lot more popular than me.

Other airlines have their share of washouts as well, UPS isn't the only one. Two Delta buddies hired in the last 18 months each had one and two wash out of class somewhere along the training process. Another buddy at FedEx also had a washout in his class. Some people just can't get through and some expect it to be handed to them, and ultimately they're let go- it's inclusive of all airlines.

Ok, reg, I get it now. Must have been reading too early. Percentagewise, that's probably not too bad.

Yet UPS still requires THOUSANDS of hours of TPIC.
Great company and would love the opportunity, but after talking with them at OBAP, they are probably the toughest nut to crack.
A recruiter told me they are averaging new hires with 3000TPIC and those with less than 2000 aren't competitive.
Also looking for heavy time, advanced education, and positive airline roles (i.e. Positions that make the airline better).
Considering how many Atlas captains they probably have on file, it will be a while before they lower their min quals.

So, UPS should lower their standards so they can hire you with your below UPS average newhire qualifications?

Not sure how you took that away from my post.

Reread my highlighted part of your post. It reeks with snowflake entitlement frustration.
