Respect?...We don't need no stinking respect!!!
From Air Cargo World:
Labor Peace, Patience and profitability were big factors
in the pilot contracts at FedEx and UPS
-Robert W. Moorman
FedEx Express and UPS may have reached separate multi-year agreements with their pilot unions after months of mediated talks but...
"Cargo pilots can no longer be considered the Rodney Dangerfield of the air cargo industry," said George Hamlin, vice president of business consulting for Morten, Beyer & Agnew, an aviation consultancy.
"But at FedEx and UPS, the working climate might be described as business as usual, with an asterisk." (Whatever that means)
