I was told by some friends that the jumpseats on UPS are getting full.
Quite honestly I doubt the HR person has the big picture. The problem is is that we are short system wide, not just ANC. It would be robbing Peter to pay Paul if they displace folks to ANC. UPS is slowly accepting the fact that folks do not want to live in ANC. Hopefully the lines become more commutable and they free up as many jumpseats as possible. I predict a COLA for ANC in the near future to entice folks to go there.
We would be having a severe staffing problem if not for all of the FE's and FO's coming off of the 727 this summer.
