Top pay is back to what it was in 98 albit with a better cola. F/O and retirement slightly better then the past. Skeds are still up in the air. Most grievances ever so far this year as ups presses to test the new contract. I think you would find it similar to when you left.

Oh, I know of several JB pilots that would give their left nut to come over to the dark side.

Yeah, but they have an uncertain future, not that we don't. Do any pilots at UPS younger than 35 really think we will be flying in 30-35 years? I'll give it 20 years before we have 1 pilot cockpits and 25-30 years before unmanned cargo planes do a majority of our flying.
Every single capt I know at UPS has a long list of legit complaints about our deplorable relationship with mgt. But they all say that they are lucky and thankful to be here. I applaud someone moving on if they are not happy. Maybe I'll put an app at Skybus.

If you come to realize that you fly for a trucking company, things are OK. Oh, and they pay me a lot of money.
