UPSPilott,
Good luck with getting a single pay scale for everyone. If you can negotiate that (Capt pay for F/O's) I'd vote "Yes" for it, really. After spending time here on the forum and witnessing first hand your impressive debating skills coupled with your factual, cogent and persuasive advocacy, I have no doubt UPS will agree to your idea. I just have to laugh at the premise, which is basically what I said a few posts prior,about your attitude, you want a trophy for coming in 5th place, because it's "just not fair!" (insert visual of a little girl stomping her feet). You might want to head up to Seattle where getting stoned is legal, just walk away from the keyboard after you light up.
On a different note, the other night in the ASC, I saw a few NURPS, one who I know, from ANC huddled up in the ASC in deep discussion, and you could see the fear in their eyes.. I think something big is going to go down here soon,and I know some of the NURPS are nervous. Hopefully it won't affect any IPA bro's
