    About a week from when I submitted my application to the phone screening. Phone screening was simple, just TMAY, confirming my experience and flight time, and why UPS? After completing the phone screening, keep checking online for the hogan to pop up on your task list, which for me took about 2-3 days. 3 months after taking the Hogan, I received the interview invite. The interview was over Zoom with an HR rep and a retired UPS Captain. It took about an hour and a half and was very...

    Everything was really spot on from previous interview reports and the questions provided on this website. I was not surprised by anything in the interview so the reports and questions got me well prepared. The interview seemed to be tailored towards my experience, and I was not asked questions that I did not have experience in. My experience started with the email for a resume review over the phone, I feel like it was appreciated that I didn't delay in scheduling the phone call. Treat...

    Nothing new to report here. Very straightforward and easy going. Received phone call from retired UPS Captain who did a phone interview, same questions, going over the resume, availability, and why UPS. Explained the process. Link to Hogan the next day. Upon completion of Hogan, email from flight ops several days later to set up a zoom interview. Zoom interview with UPS Management pilot and HR representative. Very relaxed- they really want to get to know you in a short amount of time....

    It had been two months since I submitted my app until I received the interview invite. The Hogan was completed during this time. The interview included an HR and Flight Ops representative via Zoom. The interview included questions such as: TMAT, you had a conflict, difficult coworker, miscommunicated, when CRM didn't work out so well, any emergencies, what is leadership, CRM, and TEM. I briefed an arrival and discussed a holding scenario with a diversion to an alternate. I also briefed a...

    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...

    I submitted my app and it took a couple months to get it pulled. Got an email to set up a phone interview. The phone screening interview was about 20 minutes. It went over your resume. Be prepared to answer why UPS 2 days later got the hogan invite. It took about an hour. About 2 days later got an email to schedule an interview. The interviews are Mon- Friday on zoom. The interview took about an hour total. Most the questions on here covered the interview. Know your single engine procedure...

    The Gouge was good. Was asked to brief the Localizer 4R at KBOS on a Jeppeson plate in accordance with UPS’s TEM model. The plate was so small I couldn’t read it. I asked to expand it and it was still too small. I then completely forgot to brief it in accordance with the UPS TEM model. If you have a copy of the plate it would be helpful. Other than that the interview was...

    My experience in the interview mirrored the previous interviews. Submitted the app then had a phone screening from on a Friday afternoon, I had no prep time for this and they did ask to TMAY. Hogan invite came early the next week along with an interview invite. I took the earliest available time slot for the interview. For the interview itself, signed on to zoom link 10 minutes early. Joined 5 minutes before start time by an HR rep and a retired UPS Captain. Started with interviewers giving...

    Phone interview about 2 weeks after application, followed by Hogan assessment. Zoom Interview scheduled one month later. Very relaxed interview. One HR rep and one Chief Pilot.
