In the locals that have the extended centers and hubs on one seniority list it's pretty quick lately. In the locals where each individual building has its own seniority list the wait is even longer for both the hubs and and extended centers. Especially the extended centers.

Normally it takes 10-20 years (or more) in the hubs but this year has been crazy. Some locals have one combined seniority list so the extended center employees get some of that action too. In locals that don't (such as mine) the extended centers are left out even though some of that work is actually in those center's area of operations. Most of us extended center guys/gals will never get into feeders. For example: my center only has one feeder run. That's due to us having a spineless center manager and a politically driven local that allows the hub to absorb feeder work from the extended centers but not the other way around. Hubs across the country (and certain extended centers) are experiencing earlier pushes into feeders this year. So, right now the hubs are the best place to be because the hiring frenzy for feeders has moved plenty of people up from package and that drastically reduced the wait times for full-time package in the hubs in addition to what happening in feeders. Once things settle down the extremely long wait times for package and feeders will be back in the hubs.

Bottom 10 guys on our queue list all came off the street and all obviously now have seniority dates of late 2014.
Just under 8 years. 2.5 Part time, 5.5 in Package, and 2.5 months in feeders 
LOTS of off the street and guys who went PT to Feeders (jumped right over delivery). When I went into feeders I was number 110 on the q list, and there were maybe 120 Q listers. Now there are about 160, all of them falling under me.

Its a crying shame when people are hired off the street instead of union employees from neighboring buildings.Just under 8 years. 2.5 Part time, 5.5 in Package, and 2.5 months in feeders

They put up 2 lists, and there were a lot of talkers, but few actually put pen to paper. At that point, they had exhausted all union employees

You know I don't know if this thread is a slap in the face or just how different it is across the country with ups
But right now it's a slap in the face , in our district it takes around 13 to 15 years driving to get into feeder
Right now the hired date they are at is 98 and below

Yes, I transferred (educational) a long time ago. It made sense at the time because I, unlike everyone else that transferred here, actually went to college. Who would have thought that deciding to go to college would end up costing me my shot at feeders? But then again......at the time I didn't really consider UPS a career.

Were those lists post throughout the local? If not that is BS.

I'd "settle" for Germantown or Bartlet.
