Supposedly out of all the applications, 600 met the requirements. Decent odds if UPS is hiring at least 300.

Best of luck to those who made the cut and good luck to those who didn’t and want to try again.

Good odds. Best of luck to everyone!

No changes for me. Curious, is there any other status other than green pending?

I'm guessing the number of CJOs in the pool is a good portion of the 300+ but still very good odds indead.

That is great news for those who applied. Do you have a source for that information?

thank you

Good enough source

Fair enough. Just don't want to get too excited for nothing. 600 qualified applicants is a very low number.

Out of 1,500 apps, that’s not bad.
and we are going to need about 300 new hires out of those 600. Pretty good odds if you ask me.

I don’t know man, it seems like the only ones sticking with cargo are those who are already in cargo. We’re all worried about being at the bottom of a 20k seniority list when the music stops. They’ve been crushing premium, flying days, new contracts, any plane any base, fast upgrade opportunity… they have been enjoying the best of what the business has to offer.

Personally, I can’t imagine there’s 300 poolies that have been rocketing up in seniority at their legacy for last 18 months that are ready to step into the cargo world. We’re in a downturn and FedEx has proven that it’s not exactly the promised land any longer. It’s been tarnished and hopefully the IPA can prove that the big cargo airlines are still a career destination.

Unless they are from the SDF area and have family ties or still trust the cargo side is the pinnacle of stability, I’d bet that the pool was rather dry. Just my opinion.

The number of guys who have 1,000 TPIC and want to come here is no longer a large grouping. My guess is that a bachelors degree is no longer a significant advantage, since many of those guys are going or already have gone legacy. If you meet our minimums on the last application you are sitting pretty. A chunk of your competitors are already at a legacy and won’t leave, a chunk have legacy CJOs, and the small remnant is your competitor. If you have a 1,000 TPIC and you couldn’t be bothered to submit a application, well enjoy life where you are at.
