It sure is!
I wonder why the hell I came here in the first place! Even before age 65, they were already displacing people. (think 727)
I'm on my 4th airline, and this is the only place I've EVER moved backwards (every 3 or 4 months!!!). So much for coming to UPS for "stability".
What a joke!!
Can I get a do-over?

These guys have plenty of $$ to retire, some just would not know what to do with themselves, others want to keep going to Asia to see their GF's...make a little extra for that last extravagant vacation...whatever it is they are not hurting.
From the horse's mouth, one guy budgets 2K a month for traveling to ANC...airline tix rental cars... I am sure there are more guys that do that....
my 2 cents...

I flew with one F/E, a real nice guy, fun to fly with etc etc, told me his net worth was btween 3-4 million$. When I asked him what he was doing here? he smiled and said " I like this job!'I think realistically alot of folks don't really have a whole lot going on outside the job. My plan is give all over 62 year olds a 5 month vacation, I think many won't come back after experiencing the joy of "retirement"

Let's see, being pushed further and further down the seniority list every 3-4 months, there's a threat of furlough, slack of any stability. Yeah!! I'll say it's pretty low on my list.
You want me to walk away and be unemployed?....SURE....I'M ALL OVER IT!!! Easy to sit there and spout off when you're not in danger of losing it all, isn't it?
Is being a manager all you expected? I hope it's working out for ya.

Too bad...
...but hey, perhaps a little cheese with that whine?
BTW, I'll remember your remarks if I'm ever asked to give up pay to keep you from being furloughed. Keep it up.
