UPS: No more B757 after peak??!!
Had one of the mangler pilot on the J/S the other on the way back from Asia, and the word (rumor) was the B757s will slowly be phased out sometime after peak.
Who else is getting sick of this joint and the backward movement and job threats??
I am.....
B727s.....gone
B747s.....bu bye
DC-8s......SEE YA
B757s......Say it ain't so!!!
Next displacement will be to the trucks.
Maybe I can hold bunkie on the trucks. Can the IPA get us DOH on the truckers' seniority list? I want weekends off.

Yeah, I heard that rumor a while back... Supposedly the new 767s were replacing the older 757s and not DC8s as we all thought... Who knows... I think by the time someone in ATL might get serious about this rumor the economy will have turned around and as always we'll be behind the power curve on hiring instead of getting rid of more airplanes...
