THEN you know you're working for a contender for the worst cargo airline to fly for. All while making lower than sub-standard wages.
Well, I've personally had 3 of the items you mentioned happen to me, and a lot more of the "similar", and yes, that's at UPS... FWIW

Doesn't make us a contender for the "worst" airline though, I agree with you. Just a toxic work environment with great pay thanks to our union and a company with deep pockets.
