So we integrate 200+ managers into our seniority list and furlough the existing bottom 200+ IPA pilots (in ADDITION to the bottom 300 that are currently threatened)... I fail to see how we are better for it? What prevents UPS from hiring 200+ more managers in 30 days and elevating them to a different "class and craft"? A month later the situation is status quo, the IPA has not gained a single job function and thus has no need for 200+ more pilots. A furlough would undoubtedly ensue. Why are you seeking this?

AJ,
I think you are missing the obvious. The 200+ management pilots are already "ahead" of everyone else. Getting them onto our seniority list will change nothing except their flying (IAW the contract). No open time pick ups, crew rest, strike breaking / crossing to name a few.
