UPS buying Atlas?
 

Rumors abound that UPS will be buying Atlas for the additional a/c and crewmembers with the added benefit of screwing Amazon.

It makes sense as UPS is hiring lots of Atlas pilots and many more have their apps. in.

Some novel ideas on a SLI have been proposed. I like the one about determining seniority integration by W2 amount. Atlas guys would be slotted into the IPA list by how big their W2 is. If it's bigger than a UPS pilot's W2, then he goes ahead of him. If not, then he is junior to him.

Regardless of how it plays out, it would be a huge windfall for Atlas guys, even if they lose seniority or if they lose their seat.

Using APC rates and min guarantee...no Atlas pilots are higher than UPS pilots who are off probation

This whole rumor is right next to the rumor of earth being flat

Yeah... Count me out on this rumor too. 6 months before Atlas bought Southern, Atlas stopped hiring Southern pilots. 25-33% of UPS's classes consist of Atlas pilots right now.

Actually, this is a way for UPS to save money. Get Atlas guys hired at UPS on first year pay vs. having them stay at Atlas and eventually be merged in senior (with higher pay) to all the probie UPS pilots.

It's UPS playing 4D chess.

The TROLL is back.....new ID....same BS....MODS please take out the trash.....again!

Come on bro this is APC a little BS here and there is good for sanity......I say let's continue this just to see where it goes...:); ):); (

Let's take some B&G speculation and post it to APC like its an actual rumor on line...

You appear to be an Atlas pilot. You should be hoping that this rumor is true.

That's why a used a question mark, so people would know that it's not a factual statement.

I do agree with that amigo. However this clown keeps popping up like General Lee on Flightinfo and eventually it destroys the purpose of a somewhat serious professional forum. I don't really come here for entertainment and juvenile exchanges.......I have teenagers at home for that:eek:
