One thing great about Browntail is how (everyday) he proves how little brains (it must take) to fly. If UPS wanted to it could be flying much of its inta Europe now, FedEx does. Is an open sky agreement going to change that?? nope. Between boasting about UPS's market position and financial strength, Browntail wines about how lousy UPS treats it pilots. Is that going to change?? Is open sky good for the pilots profession in general?? Are UPS's pilot wage and benefit's affected by the industry at large?? Maybe not, their UPS pilots) holding out for the "industry standard" pay and bennie's, just you wait, its coming any year now.
Look beyond the hub, bub. we are all affected by events off our own property. Nobody lives or works in a bubble, I don't care how many planes UPS buys for cash, they (UPS) will pay as little for your services and contract out as much as they can legally and contractually can .

By the way, good luck with your negotiations
