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 does NOT pay the same for each seat ... you may be confused ...
UPS DOES pay the same for each AIRCRAFT. Very big difference if you ask me ...
And if you understand the difference, it explains why someone who "retired" to the FE seat at 60+ would want to return to a Captains seat on any aircraft that they could hold.
Just my guess, but you may be confusing our one payscale across the fleet with most other airlines that have different payscales for different aircraft type and/or sizes. One pay fits all aircraft at UPS ... NOT all seats. Except for maybe management, but lets not go there, I don't even know what they make anyway ...
Clear as mud ...
