To be honest with you all, I'm surprised we don't see letters such as the one just posted here where people resign en masse from DHL due to the shady treatment they're getting. That would make much more sense to me but then again, I know it's very tough to find any airline related jobs right now so it'd be a very tough decision...

The terms of the severance package and the likelihood of finding other, comparable work between now and the close of operations make that financially impractical for most.

Prostitutes to the end...

Why are guys at UPS so emotional about DHL pilots picketing UPS headquartes in Atlanta, it doesn't have direct impact on the pilots of UPS does it? And whats with the hostility against ALPA, aren't they just doing whatever they can in an attempt to avoid their impending demise; is IPA that much better than ALPA, I think not.

My sentiment here has nothing to do with the current DHL/UPS deal however personally I think that even girl scouts have a better representation than ALPA pilots do - so yes I believe IPA is a much better union than ALPA ever was.

About as classy as this Astar pilot video saying that UPS is un-American, anti-America and anti-worker!

YouTube - Astar & ALPA fight DHL - UPS Anti-Worker AntiTrust = GREED

I couldn't keep reading without responding any longer.

Not a manager, sorry.

Did not know that, I agree thats over the line.

In reality, I don't think most IPA guys give a red rat's ass if they picket. Just realize that UPS WILL BE TAPING IT! If you're on the tape, no J-O-B. Period Dot. As far as ALPO hostility, many of us have been ALPO in a previous life and it left a bad taste. You might ask the boys and girls of FedEx about their satisfaction level with their union. Its a crappy situation all around and I wish the ASTAR/ABX folks the best of luck.

I know all about FDX ALPA, but tell me an instance at whatever airline when their was not discontent directed at their own union.

If you don't think that UPS hates unions (especially the IPA), I don't know what to tell you... Without being a smartass, have you been here very long?

Most of the time, that union has been ALPO!
