What is gonna be more interesting is what happens with the management situation. UPS has always argued they need managers to "manage" the union pilots. Now that they are gonna have fewer union pilots, we need......___________(more or less) management pilots. Well you fill in the blank.

Wonder how that one will look in court?

I think this has been planned for a while now. Act like your negotiating, wait till open time for bid period has been picked up, release video, press release reduction in force bid all in one hour. They want in our contract, end of story! They don't care about the MOU. They want something perminant and a lower starting point for negotiations in a few years. Going to be a very interesting year around this place.
