The IPA failed to mention that the China Airlines flights wereACMI flown by an American Company by American Pilots operated under the Dynasty call sign. There was no outsourcing to forign labor like the IPA stated. The IPA painted this horrible picture which wasn't the case at all. These flights were operated for Dell Computers.
You've proved my point. When the next hiring "wave" begins at UPS one will be best served to avoid them. You never know what they will outsource next and how many jobs they will eliminate to improve management bonuses. The pride of wearing the brown uniform doesn't mean a thing. As soon as they get out of sight of the customer it could be anyone handling your package.
The growth will be at UPS contract carriers. That's where I would apply.
