Throw in the mix our horrific schedules (unless you are super senior and get something decent)…
Good for you guys that think everything is rosy.
FYI, married 25 years with a great life outside of work, great kids, one thing has nothing to do with the other.
There is a reason we are seeing retirements under 65 tick up, have flown with 2 in the last month and half, it ain’t because it’s all balloons and ponies. Lots of people are fed up.
You must have awful luck, I don’t know anyone who experiences what you do. Seriously, if this is your work life at Brown, it sounds like a total anomaly. Most people have an occasional issue and it’s frustrating dealing with the company to make it right, but it’s certainly not exclusive to UPS. We are all cogs in a big wheel to make UPS money. They don’t care about us, and neither does management at FedEx, United, Delter, etc.
Fortunately, every pax carrier in the country will be hiring thousands of pilots in the coming years. I’m sure you’ll have no problem getting hired elsewhere and putting your miserable life at UPS in the rear view mirror. I seriously wish you better luck in whatever you do- stay or go. You seem miserable in your short time here.
