LJS,

I actually agree with your posting. I only highlighted the text worth debating.

The UAV issue is being actively investigated by Fred Smith over at FDX. Fair to say, UPS is looking over his shoulder to see what he finds out. This is just my humble opinion based on comments made by Fred. I think we should keep this topic on the radar.

Will any of the bottom 300 ever upgrade ? Will the bottom 300 get furloughed again and again ?

Interesting stat provided to me by my wonderful accountant:

From mid 2010 to the end of 2020

569 mandatory retirements.

For my part in this, I have started a petition to move the retirement age to 83.

Everything else in your post, I'm in agreement...has this ever happened before ?
