Compared to my former employer (Delta), UPS has been more than generous when it comes to uniforms, flight kits, suitcases, and covering hotel costs during training. At Delta, we paid for everything....at UPS, I didn't pay for squat.

Your point is well taken, but I don't know what will be accomplished by throwing this in the face of a flight crew scheduler.

Until then its the 12 dollar shanghia North Face knock off. Still also going to Grieve it when off probation.
I guess if a UPS probie is not "just happy to be here"...Maybe, FDX is the place to go.

You know what their response is going to be? It's going to be, "Uh, ok...does that mean you will fly?" or "I'll get you the 800 number to Cintas, and you can order one....will you fly now?".[/quote]
I guess my answer will be contiune up the list. If others felt the same way maybe their decsion would be differnt.
