They are listed by UPS as "pilots" but are not on the IPA seniority list, nor are they members of the IPA. We have some that were hired as managers when they interviewed, and others that "left" the IPA for a management position, thus relinquishing their IPA membership and seniority number. Thus the "airline within an airline" you here us refer to often.
I am sure there is someone out there that could explain it better, but that's what I know (which isn't much)
