I have to admit its entertaining to watch how he has all the pilots "jacked-up". Seems to know a lot about flying stuff.

Are you FDX or UPS.
Your other post about FDX 777's would make one think your FDX. But you are so concerned about "Whats going on at UPS"

If UPS and the IPA took that simple approach maybe things would change. All it is is paddling and no praise. Kinda like living at a trailerpark

Soya,
You mentioned losing your job, I'm sorry to hear that. Then you mention you will be fine with your UPS stock options, I assumed that it was an inheritance, you said that you never worked here and that the shares were acquired pre-public. Either way good for you, I am glad that you will be ok. You won't get any sympathy from the bottom pilots here. Most have been through quite a lot over the last three years and don't have an inheritance or stock options to fall back on. Add up first year pay, flight engineer pay, moves from ANC and MOU pay cuts and most are walking away from this job with a financial disaster. I personally came here for the stability, not the pay.
You're a smart guy. I am sure you can see why some are upset. To bash UPS to the point they are turning over business is admittedly wrong and counterproductive. I don't like to see it either since I still at this point want a future here. However, like I said before, some will never come back and no longer have loyalties. Some will come back and have no loyalties. That was a risk that UPS took when they went down this road when they canceled the MOU and chose to furlough. I am sure the bean counters did a cost analysis on it before hand.
