Yes! I don't know where this "entitlement" movement has come from. Gereration "y"???
When I was Hired, I was relatively young also, but think 180 degrees from todays 30 year olds. I knew the rules and didn't whine.
If UPS was to furlough, so be it. Is AMR, UAL, or any of the others changing there respective contracts to save the bottom 5%? NO. And they shoudn't. Have any since the 1950's? NO. The bottom go until called back.
I and everyone else in the industry knew how Seniority system's work. I don't want us to furlough, but when I was hired I accepted the possibility.
