100% agree. Not trying to be a UPS doom and gloomier, but with regards to the postal contract (just like all other fantasies that UPS floats to get through peak), I don't see any scenario where UPS hires pilots anytime soon. The most recent system bid was indicative of that. The bid says to me that UPS future planning is to simply replace retiring captains and nothing else.
Cannot understand why anyone would apply here anyway, but I know they will. Its pays well, but I don't see any movement for many, many years. It's a very young airline, with very few retirements compared to other airlines that will be hiring soon.
It's been said that UPS was able to hire the best and most qualified during the last round. I'd have to say that the next group that they hire, I will wonder if those guys don't have a screw or two loose for applying here when they could go to United, Delta, FedEx, etc. The best days are behind for flying at UPS airlines.
Unbelievable to me that these jerks still have pilots on furlough.
