There were no airplanes to go with the deal because UPS did not want them. UPS bought Challenge as a whole, minus the jets and did not even so much as offer the pilots a pref interview. Unfortunately, the IPA thought that this was acceptable using the excuse that UPS did not offer them jobs or at the least, interviews, due to what happened with the lawsuits of the past when they formed the airline ( UPS ). I am sorry but at the time I disagreed with the IPA's stand and thought that UPS should have offered something to the pilots of Challenge since "our" company put them on the street.
