I'd be more grateful if they paid for it considering that they were giving them to retirees and stiffing those who could use them on line.

that was when ups needed the votes of that pilot demographic to push the contract offer over the 50% mark. My opinion only of course.

How true! You newbies can buy one with your $40,000 signing bonus for being on the property 366 days. Welcome to the REAL UPS.

Sideshow or was it SnowshoeBob and Av8rwannabe pretty well cover it.

And I'm guessing that if you didn't get to vote on the contract, you are getting stiffed on the jacket.....

I was in the USAF in 1987 when we had our own leather jacket fiasco. Glad to see the military isn't the only place pilots get distracted with wardrobe malfunctions.
