Dumb UPS poolie question
alright, I am probably being stupid but I need to ask. At the end of my
UPS interview I was asked what I would like to fly at UPS. I told the
interviewers that the 727 would be neat before it is gone ( I was an engineer on it at a prev job and would love to fly it) or that the 747 would also be neat, but really, anything with a brown tail is fine for me. They wrote down 727 and 747 and that was that. I wouldn't think that it has any bearing on when/what you get for a class date, but the recently hired guys that I know at UPS all got what they said they would like in the interview. I assume that when your number is up for class it is up regardless of what is avail (except for the heavy/international guys of course) and you will get what you can with seniority in the class. Not trying to read into that question too much but just curious....

I was asked the same question and actually answered the 727 for the same reasons as you. At the end of the interview I was asked, "we know what your wish list is, but would you accept any aircraft in the fleet?" Naturally I said yes, and will probably get MD-11 ANC, but I will gladly accept it.
Cheers!

Here are a couple of more recent interview experiences. I am hoping to add my own to it very soon.
