Default UPS Job Share

Hello everyone,

Signing up for Voluntary Job Protection Program will open Wednesday on schedule. Also, included will be a page (as soon as tomorrow) to network for J/S partners as this program moves forward. Please note that actually signing up for J/S will commence a week later, May 13th. There will be developments and tweaks as time progresses, thank you for your patience.

That is the EXACT same thing I thought, except at the end of "serious" I had a question mark. Yes, some people just don't know/understand. Which is OK, but this is kindof a big deal...

The DC-8 parking was the reason for the whole furlough/voluntary situation. If the program has enough volunteers, there will be no furlough.

forgive me, I neither a) work for UPS, b)work in the industry now as I've been out of work for over a year, and b) come on here much these days..

I was scanning new posts and had read on the twitter feed that they were parking the airplanes, but I didn't know how fast and how many. Sorry to hear about the furlough.

CE 750, no worries; It's just that this issue has dominated life lately, and you walked in like a child walking into the middle of 'on golden pond' and wanting to be caught up. Not your fault.

Its been a very low utilization airplane for a couple years now, many of the airframes had already been taken to ROW.
