I really take exception to the comments about management pilots at UPS.
I am in the group that was hired into management long ago. I had plenty of airline experience. I also have 4 type ratings at UPS and have instructed and checked in 4 different aircraft. However, I do agree with you about some of our recently hired managers. A few are very incompetent and it reflects badly on all of us. Also, with regard to the '97 strike, no one in the know at the IPA really thinks of us as scabs. That is the job that management does in time of strikes. You know that very well. We were not out to take your line numbers or replace you.
