General Overview of Experience They asked me the day prior if i could come in 3 hours earlier than planned. Interview was relaxed. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I would say that anyone of average flying skill should have no problem with the sim. Hand-fly a few approaches at your current job and you will be fine. They did ask how i am able to maintain currency flying fighters and the airlines at the same time. The only questions i got that i hadn’t heard of previously were “How would you deal with a delay exasperated by cultural differences in another country” and “What would you say the next frontier is for UPS”. They gave me the notification that i’m in the hiring pool by email 4 days later. The other gentleman i interviewed with got the thumbs up 2 weeks later. They did not hit on company specifics too hard as i think they realized i was knowledgeable. Study materials included – Big Brown, Leadership Lessons from A UPS Delivery Driver, The Package King, Latitudes Radio Podcast, Earnings Reports, Wikipedia, UPS Press Room Website, YouTube Videos on WorldPort, and more. I flew to SDF a week prior to chat with pilots, observe the operation, and see the crew facility. I would recommend if you have time. Stay up all night and you’ll get an idea of the fatigue you will undoubtedly feel every now and then with UPS.
