Nothing to do with the city, just the type of flying, with long ground sits.

No doubt, pilot's perspective. Understand completely.

But I wouldn't be surprised if had better profits than other flying.

LOL
WG flying UPS trips that go fairly senior on the MD.
All sorts have "long" ground sits. Glad he's ready to give it up.
Been flying off ramp 6 watching them launch every day right next to us. Was flying worse stuff.
So bad the UPS stuff their flying that a new hire last week came from WG. Maybe was the bud
Gotta admit, WG used some UPS earnings to paint jets. Ours look terrible

Majority hated UPS flying including senior guys, blame your company for letting WG fly for UPS not the WG pilots. Just a few liked it. Worst flying since commuter days. I'm glad it's over.
Pilots used to be friendly to each other, we did not cross any lines, we all have to pay bills. Our salary is three times smaller than yours, what are you all unhappy about?

It did not go away....did you not read the IPA press release, still contractors on property, I was correct...

A fair number of pilots have had their upgrade delayed by a year but at least they got BV days years from now and 200 dollars before taxes.....

Well then it is great the end is in site! Us UPS pilots want to apologize to you and the rest of the WG crews that had to endure such horrible flying conditions! We hope that you find greener pastures with your new flying, what ever it is! SEE YA!!!!!!
