Questions for UPS HR? Post here
#61
The way I understood it is they won't call the August apps until they worked their way through the April apps.
#62
How about the January window? Did the eval in March and still waiting for a call. Oh well, keeping positive.
#63
Is the psych eval usually pretty soon after app, cause I haven't seen it yet. Applied 4/17. Just wondering.

Some Answers
When HR decides to call people for an interview, the computer will RANDOMLY pick the requested amount of interviewees that meet the parameters that HR is looking for. This probably explains why some people get called quickly and others take months to get called.
An internal recommendation will add a point to your score. It doesn’t matter if you have 1 or 20 recommendations, one point will be added to your score.
Date of application within each application window does not affect the order in which you get called. Current window to close in October.
Still calling people from the April window, probably through the end of the year.
Can apply only once a year and need to reapply each calendar year.
Saying “no” to the ANC base won’t disqualify you. If you obviously have deep roots where you live now, such as you own a business, or there is a situation in which you would obviously not want or be able to go to ANC, be honest.
Because you are in the pool does not mean you will be called, you may never be called, sorry to drop the bomb, however the pool is small and the poolies are reviewed monthly.
Hope this helps.

How did you get those answers? Are you working with Freight Dog? Are you working with the HR? We are just trying to know the facts straight from the source before we start "spreading new rumors" - something every pilot is very good at!
I'm not questioning your answers; I'm just trying to find out where you got them...Thanks.

Hey Freight Dog, how about the FE written. Took mine over 2 years ago. Do I need to get a new one to improve my score...When I get an interview or is it okay since I work for a 121 carrier? Thanks for all of your help and info!

Strato - most of your "answers" seem to be what I've heard as well. One exception is that some poolies might possibly never get called. Wow - that really sucks!

Thanks for the input. been to a couple ( once a year, was very low key) and was told not to bother since HR knows I'm in the pool. The standard line from email followups were Thank you for your interest, UPS reviews the pool to fill the needs of the company. I thought the same thing let HR know I remain interested, Still floating and the beer is cold in anc. Gotta admit it's a bit frustrating seeing a lot of my collegues that I trained getting classes while I continue to swim, but in the scheme of this business I have a good job and fly good equipment so I still have a lot to be thankful for. It would be nice to go brown .

How about if you want to get a job at one of the best gigs out there, just retake the dang thing?
