The thing everyone needs to be aware of is that pilots didn't do this to pilots, so don't sh!t all over guys on your jumpseat because of anger that should be directed elsewhere.

Hey Biff,

Nobody is that I'm aware of. As to "pilots didn't do this to pilots", uh, that's what I said in my post. However, it still remains that with UAL furloughing 950and combined 1000 plus from Astar/ABX, 50-100 jobs from a UPS expansion flying DHL material is hardly reason for rejoicing. The market is now saturated with high time jet pilots out of a job. I'm looking at the industry as a whole, not just a handful of new jobs at UPS.
