Both parties know the demographic on Retirement. Vast majority of pilots are over 45. Even the new hires. UPS has their reasons, but the flip side is they have set up a pilot group that demands that DBP continue to improve. Demographics are set: Overwhelming number of voters will not ratify as over 45 in age are super majority of next voters. An absolute pitch negotiation, not easy, but it will continue. A significant goal will be to keep only those on property with a DBP and no DBP for those not yet hired. Just like the old B scale in the industry they will want to turn the DBP off with the "not yet hired" approach.
