So rest assured they do what they want and pay whom they want....I, was just bringing the issue to light so my brothers at the IPA would do what they have to do...

For a period of time, (mid 80's) UPS owned a lot of American Airlines MD-80's. Are you saying that flying should be ours too? Where in the contract does it spell out that all UPS "owned" aircraft will be flown by IPA crew members? FWIW, UPS does in fact go after military charter flying. I'm on one of those trips now. I see a lot of those trips in the current bid package as well.
