Interview Experiences From United Parcel Service Pilot Interviews :

  1. 1.  (Oct 01, 2025) Hands down one of the best interview experiences I have ever had. There was no pressure or intimidation. If you have made it to this point, they want to hire you. The interview was conducted by a retired chief pilot and the head of HR for recruiting. They began by telling me about themselves individually, and then it was my turn. I gave a breakdown of where I grew up, college, and a brief overview of my career up to now (maybe 4-5 mins). Then they would each take a turn asking me different...

  2. 2.  (May 29, 2025) Panel was Cheryl, and Larry, a retired UPS captain of 34 years over Zoom. I logged on about 20 minutes early and Cheryl and Larry about 10 minutes early. Since we were all there, we started then. It took about an hour and a half total. They asked me questions.  Describe CRM/TEM (I mentioned the swiss cheese model and he brought up a graphic and had me explain the slices of cheese). (view the study guide of this website). How do I prepare for training on a new plane? Brief the LOC 9L at... Continue reading this interview experience..

Study Guide Questions for Your United Parcel Service Interview:

  1. 1. (Aug 10, 2025) TMAAT you had to make a quick decision, preferably in flight scenario.
    • I was flying with a new FO into Charlotte when storms developed over the field as we approached and began the initial approach segment. I made the decision to ask for an alternate missed approach in the event we needed to go around due to the storms being off the departure end. We requested a left turn 270 to avoid the storms. Fortunately we were able to land and taxi tot he gate with no issues.
  2. 2. (Oct 09, 2025) When is your start availability?
    • ASAP
  3. 3. Which domicile and aircraft would be your first choice?
    • 747/ANC
  4. 4. (Jul 24, 2025) Do you have any questions for us?
  5. 5. (Oct 09, 2025) Do you know what the schedules are like here?
  6. 6. (Oct 17, 2025) Tell us about a conflict you've had in the cockpit.
    • I once had a Captain disregard a maintenance procedure and reset guide that ultimately led us to have to do the reset off gate while on the phone with maintenance personnel. I think there was a lack of clear communication and timidity at the time which led us to a conflict in the cockpit. We resolved the conflict by agreeing to call Maintenance for clarification and that cleared the message.
  7. 7. (May 30, 2025) Give us a brief summary of your career.
  8. 8. What airplanes does UPS fly?
    • MD-11, Airbus 300, B-757/767, B-747
  9. 9. Where are UPS’ pilot bases?
    • ANC MIA ONT SDF
  10. 10. (Nov 03, 2025) How do you handle working with a difficult co-worker?
    • Usually, there's always a personal problem that makes people difficult to get along with. I would gently try and find out the problem through casual conversation, and offer my support. If they don't want to talk, I'll just make allowances for their behavior, as long as they don't hurt people or break the rules.
