Well, begs the question, what do you UPS pilots find so attractive about the night domestic hub flying? Every December, I find myself doing it for some one, and it is the least interesting flying I've ever done.

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?
Go read the thread, I never blamed WG pilots. I was amused you all hated the contracted flying. Glad you are all ready to bail. Good for both pilot groups. Never said or had a bad thing to say about WG pilots. They were simply flying their job.
Not aware of any union saying anything negative about WG pilots either. Went after UPS management for violating a contract. Very pro pilot of any company.
Oh well. Guessing UPS HR takes note of your majority dislike of UPS flying. Feel bad for any WG pilots having to explain that in an interview at UPS.
Good journeys.

Make really good money for working a few nights a week! Why complaint!

My apology, I'm glad I'm was wrong about you.
I don't know if it's true, but I heard UPS blocked WG from interviews and hiring while on the contract.

It is not true.

Moreover, regarding negative comments by WGA pilots who are flying the UPS contract, those with whom I've spoken have had nothing negative to say about the flying or the UPS arrangements. They're doing more landings, more regularly than they might otherwise, the flight duty is light, consistent, and straightfoward, and UPS is a professional organization that's easy to work with. One would probably need to qualify any complains by the complainer to put them in context

Nothing personal to the pilots of WGA you have been very nice and professional during this illegal SCOPE violation by stUPidS. However the growing pains of your jump seat procedures have caused a lot of heart ache to Brown pilots. It’s a tough pill to swallow when those are routes that should have Brown tails on them and then you miss a trip or a flight home for days off because an O2 mask is MEL’d constantly or they booked you on an AC with only 2 jump seats (loadmaster & MX) instead of three with no notification until you show.

Give me a “P”... give me a “U”... give me a “T”... Give me a “Z”... what that spell? Waborita! You though I was going to say PUTZ... however both are interchangeable and shouldn’t be entrusted to driving the turdhearse with that attitude..
