Funniest thing I have read on APC! Well done indeed.
Seriously, do the UPS guys have things that chap them, or are the FedEx guys just whiners?
From the sounds of it, picking up open time seems to be a little of an issue, but not nearly as hostile a deal as the FedEx guys with their DP's.
Ultimately, the point of this is to get to any great cultural differences between the two carriers - everyone lumps them together as dream jobs (rightly so), but I was mostly trying to exam differences between the two. Culture, pilot attitudes, relationship with management, etc.
Both are exceptional opportunities - just trying to understand better.
