Don't waste your time with UPS. The latest hiring numbers for 2006 show that only a handful more will be hired.

Heard from a pretty reliable source that UPS thinks they've found a loop hole in the Menlo situation. UPS pilots will not be flying the Menlo amounts they once believed. Fewer new hires then needed. Hope my friend is WRONG...

I'm not sure what that means, Browntail, but I certainly didn't mean any disrespect to anyone. It wasn't flame bait...

I currently work at Fedex in New Orleans and hold a PPL. I'm wondering how would I go about arranging a tour of the MEM facilities like you did? That sounds like a one day internship!?

Default Don't believe everything you read....

My first post. Just finishing up in the training center. Airline is critically short on all fleets. Got my tail kick the last 6 month on reserve on the 757/767 and now I hear the MD captains are also working their tails off. I can't foresee less than 200 this year.......

Not much else, other than the PacRim stuff is falling apart.
