Can you imagine that question during the interview?

"Tell me Mr. Astar Pilot, is this you here with the sign comparing UPS to Adolf Hitler? So tell, me why do you want to work here again?"
It's simple math Ned. 9,000 ground personnel out of work. 1124 pilots out of work. Perhaps 100 pilot jobs available at UPS, (due to DHL product) where there is an active pool waiting for the call, who will of course be offered positions first. You can't get a job if there aren't going to be any available. I would have thought a Super Mad Dog captain could at least do simple subtraction.
