UPS reminds management that they are one bad sort away from a loss of business that can spiral to bankruptcy. As a line pilot, I realize that I have no input any different that my fellow aviators at Astar/ABX/Gemini/etc. They work as hard as we do to provide good service to the customer who pays our wage. We are just lucky, we are line pilots who are no different than the unfortunate ones except being lucky enough at the right time to get hired at UPS. Many of these folks have had apps in with UPS for along time. They are no different than you and me. Yeah, glad UPS is doing well, but we are no different as simple employees and both really just lucky that were called and didn't Screw the pooch at the interview. See ya on the line.
