But UPS pays the same for each seat so if the guy is 64, can't he go back to the left seat? Is this an IPA contractual limit?
UPS has bypass bidding to save on training costs. Those bypassed will get pay for whatever seat their seniority can hold and have been awarded, but they will be kept in their current seats to actually fly. So, that is where the 63 age comes in. If within 2 years of retirement, you can be awarded this scenario.
