You didn't know you had to have a ANP to come to work at UPS? The next must read bulletin will state: pilots have to come in three hours early, so that they can wrench on the jet and clear previous write-ups. I am sure some manager is going to get promoted for this very idea and will show how much money they can save the company! You think I am kidding ....???
Since when do we as flight crew have to verify a DMP has been accomplished? Maintenance manuals are not carried on the jets and other than the logbook how else are we supposed to verify the work was properly? The FAA and UPS are both out to lunch here!
