The hundreds of non union pilots are captains in name only at UPS. A mgt captain has no real authority in anything much less the operation of a airplane. I would be stunned to learn if one has EVER made a decision concerning the safe operation of a flight that cost UPS money against the wishes of the company. Career over!

These men and women have taken jobs whose sole purpose is to be used as a hammer against the pilot profession. The early ranks where filled with scabs. The latter ranks are filled by the most junior on propriety and new hires desperate for illusion of power. They HAVE and WILL cross any picket line they are told too.

I can not think of one UPS captain that went over the subordinate official pilot position in 20 years. What company cannot get its most qualified employees to take a position of a " captain" ?
