"However having worked at UPS for a long time to go I do like to know who I can trust to stand behind me, You are correct that I could trust the vast majority." - 757upspilot
And that is very understandable. I too want to know who I can trust when flying - and realize that at times 'lip service' is given instead of actual opinion. After spending too many years in confrontation with this company - be it pushing for contract compliance or defending myself - the idea of having conflict with fellow IPA members doesn't sit well. The remaining years at UPS might be spent with a little less 'open discussion' in the cockpit as one will not be sure where the other crew's loyalties/opinions lie - and that is unfortunate. Lessons learned the hard way years past - not to be repeated.
