*Or was your reference in terms of line numbers/seniority? Wonder if Brown would staple them under OR re-interview which wouldn’t be unheard of. It’s a crazy world we live in. K4 keeps on keeping on.

With that said, I just don’t see it happening. Why would UPS want us? They don’t want the OSC MX base or the YIP training center. As for airplanes we have like 6 owned 76s but they just ordered a bunch more so why would they want ours. If they wanted more 74s I’m sure they could of kept the Dash 8 production open with Boeing instead of buying a bunch of old 74s from us. We have one 777 freighter + the orders which would be a new type for them, again doesn’t make much sense. They gain 750ish pilots but why wouldn’t they instead hire at their own pace.

And, UPS did surpass 3,000 finally within the past year or so after decades of hovering below it. They may be below it again but have some growth as everyone has or has tried to during this viral debacle, it’s no secret. To gain well over 500 pilots and old or even new iron would blow their minds. Definitely tongue and cheek, but if not it would be a step up for most any place just basing it on $/retirement predominantly. Whatever outfit anyone is with, route structure/ownership and then assets drive absorption a lot of the times.
