I happen to know the line guy you speak of and have never met the retired guy. Although, I’ve certainly seen plenty of his posts. The line guy doesn’t do the interwebs well and can be abrasive. He’s also a good guy, albeit with rough edges. I’ve known him since before he came to UPS. The retired guy clearly wasn’t ready to walk off into a well deserved retirement and to forget how to spell UPS. I know he worked hard for the group, but his refusal to trust the next generation to make their own judgement calls undermines his inputs every time. This group puts a lot of faith in the EB, but it is also increasingly willing to make their own judgement hard choices if we don’t have our expectations met. This is really aimed more at management than our EB (who I believe is fulfilling their duty), but no TA that doesn’t leave us as industry leaders in both pay and work rules is going to survive. This pilot group sacrificed too much during COVID and is working too hard with this postal contract to accept less.
