With names like "Salty" ..."Buck"...or "Brown"...etc, How could you be held legally for anything?

UPS has engaged in a company-wide, $1.4 billion cost-cutting effort that included a freeze on management salaries in 2009; suspension of the match for 401(k) plans; trimming capital expenditures, and retiring older aircraft.
Wow, didn't I recently read that this effort was just cancelled due to the triple 4th quater profit UPS made and the problem of having too much cash?
Been nice flying with you guys (at the last job I will ever have), see you in about 33 months or so. Until then, fly safe.

I'll say this once in the interest of unity, but to all those pilots who didn't volunteer anything, Thanks! and to all the 63=64 year olds amongst us, why don't you gracefully hang up your hats and help a young family?? I mean really, why would you put yourselves through this madness/drama if you can just retire/ I really don't get it at all! Rant over, now I'll just await my orders from the EB

Those Amazing Kreskins had zero grasp on the reality of the present and future. Way to read the crystal ball, guys. Pure genius.
