Now that we have our EB screaming that UPS has significantly UNDERESTIMATED the overstaffing situation, I wonder how long it'll be before UPS increases the ransom demand? Interesting bargaining strategy...

Frankly I think it is amazing that UPS allowed the IPA the opportunity to negotiate an MOU. Strictly business I would have furloughed 300 along time ago.
P.S. That would include me.

If UPS is going to furlough 400, then it sounds like we're getting a bargain by only paying ransom for 300, doesn't it?

Heard from a board member that over 50 domestic flights will be cut in Jan. Hence the need for more RDG participants. Also, as the new 76's come on line, they will increase the mutiple stop trips that the 75 and 300 do all too much. This will also reduce the number of crews that we will need. Four leg nights in a 76 sounds fun, doesn't it!

If they want people to sign up, they should show them what will happen to them if UPS furloughs. The only thing the union says now is it will effect the bottom 2/3s of the pilot group. How many (and which captains) would lose their seat. Which pilots would be sent to ANC? Where would the DC8 people go if there is a reduction in force? ....

No one is greedy. The union exposed themselves to being held accountable for something they cannot control, a reduction in force due to a lack of business. Is the MOU a good attempt that we hope will be successful, probably. If it fails to meet the demands of the company to reduce costs this is the company and external forces controlling and not the IPA.

What would you call the 1000 that didn't contribute?
