Default IPA letter to UPS

Letter from IPA to UPS today (http://inside.ipapilot.org/library/l...ntract_727.pdf)

{UPS SUBCONTRACTING}
In a letter to UPS Labor's Kevin Foster, the IPA reacts to UPS's
decision to subcontract two B-727s for May 31 and June 1 on two
routes. The letter from IPA President Bob Miller states that
the Company's need to subcontract outside of peak is "compelling
evidence that the airline is understaffed" and shows the "Company
has failed to anticipate the needed aircraft lift required for
the system."

Who is doing the flying? Kalitta Charters II or CAT or who? All I saw was a white airplane with a couple of red stripes and no lettering on the side.

I don't think it was Kalitta Charters. Although I can't be sure. All their 72's are marked with the company name.

Maybe someone can get an "N" number and then we will know for sure!

Fly good!

I saw Kitty Hawk on the ramp and I heard CAT coming in.

Doesn't UPS pay your union a "penalty" for doing that? I think a buddy of mine got $3,000 for something similar last year...

Nope allowed per article one.... the 3000 was for the Menlo thing.

In OAK, the van driver said there were going to be charter 727s operating into OAK. It was early so I don't remember if he said 7 flights or the next 7 days. He didn't know who they were or what the freight was.

So do we get anything for this? Or is it filed as a grievance to be determined later? What's to stop them from doing this more often?
