Right now, having a bunch of very junior FOs in ANC actually mitigates (not eliminates) possibility of a furlough. Bring in the managers and that goes away.
People who say "bringing the 300 in will cause UPS to hire MORE pilots" are dreaming. The only way I would even consider voting 'yes' is if they stapled them to the bottom of the list (with former IPAers at the bottom of that list).
For those 300-600 from the bottom: get ready to take a step back to where you were 5 years ago if this passes.
Agreed. Those of us (bottom 300) who gave the most toward the MOU will again be giving up for the good of the IPA. Unless former IPA'ers, now management get stapled to the bottom, no vote from me!
