Scott Davis' culture is to furlough to increase the profit margin, not protect the company from financial hardship. THAT culture has no problem executing a round of layoffs to increase management bonuses.
How about the pilot culture? How many of you flew extra with brothers and sisters on the street?
Every CEO of a public company has that responsibility to increase the profit margin.
Furloughs happened due to unprecedented recession, age 60 changing and a few other factors I don't care to spell out right now.
I'd take out pilot group over any other. I'm no UPS apologist, but it's silly to be mad at the company. They simply don't care. It's a job and we are a number. When we add to the bottom line they may hire more. When we detract from it they will furlough. UPS made
Massive cuts company wide and the airline suffered on par with everyone else.
It's amazing to peak into the mindset of others!!
