UPS - 747F domicile in the lower 48?
 

Saw that someone posted on the B&G that management isn't too happy with their decision to man ANC so heavily with the volcano disruption, etc. Think we'll see the 747F down in SDF or possibly ONT? Wouldn't that be the best thing for everyone's seniority...

Haven't you heard?

J BARNES got the volcano to stop...back to business as usual.

haha.

UPS management = clowns. :eek:

NO !!!! it will not be the best thing for seniority....

And who do you think would indirectly pay for this move?.....that's right, the junior pilots of the IPA. The company will come out with more furlough threats and call on the Union to save the company more money. There will be more forced 'voluntary' give backs, more displacements and less pay. How many more times are we junior folks going to take in the a$$ before this ****storm passes?

When FDX buys -400s and moves them to the lower 48, we will do the same.

Well, where are our 777's?

That depends on your definition of seniority.

In Memphis.

We will get them when Uncle Fred buys Airbus, then we will get Airbus' also...check your V-file for updates !!!!!!

Before me tenure at UPS, I've been told that UPS was asked by Boeing to help spec-out the B777F. With that said, at the ANC generalmeeting with all the uppidity-ups, BL said the 777 does not fit into our business model.

I did see the Emirates 777F in HKG the other day, looks sharp.

So stay tuned.

I'm no so sure about that. The entire reason UPS created the ANC domicile was to decrease unproductive block hours, i.e. deadheading to and from ANC from the lower 48. If the company were to consider moving flying out of ANC to a domicile in the lower 48 this would increase the number of block hours which would equate to more IPA jobs. Sorry but I fail to see more jobs as a detriment, regardless of one's seniority.

There is a 747-400 base in the lower 48: MANAGEMENT
