I've got a couple meetings set up this week that will hopefully allow me to get away from UPS for a while until this paycut and displacement BS blows over. Anything to keep me away from commuting to Alaska at half pay.

Ideally one of these opportunities will allow me to tell UPS to shove it permanently. The atmosphere at this place just isn't for me. I've flown with some of he best people I've ever met in this industry, but the management here at this place is from the dark ages. What a mistake to hook my flying career to UPS. We'll be at the bottom of everybody's list once hiring picks up again someday, I predict. The high hourly rate isn't worth it. Trust me!
