I can assure you that the vast majority of UPS pilots do care about what's happening to you guys. In fact, I personally think it's amazing how well regarded both Astar and Abx pilots are among the UPS pilots I've flown with. Having come from the pax side of the business I’ve seen the, in my view, more aggressive competition amongst the pilots. I fully expected to see some "we finally showed them," "we're the best," etc. comments and attitudes but instead the majority seem to show concern and respect for you guys.

I am not saying this to make y'all feel better, I'm saying this because that's what I've experienced when discussing this issue with other brown aviators and I must say I'm encouraged to see that kind of attitude because I think that bodes well for our group’s unity. Hopefully we’ll see many of y’all join our ranks and then you’ll se what I’m talking about.
