Impending FAA enforcement action-UPS MX manag
Looks like the feds are gonna fine UPS big over harrassment of our line mechanics. The managers were writing warning letters to mechs that found discrepancies on ASEs/ASNs. FAA went straight into an enforcement action.
Maybe Lekites shoulda kept the $130 mil, looks like he's gonna need it.

From 2 of our mechanics at SDF. One had been interviewed by feds. It seems that some problems found by them were being cleared by managers and popped up later to bite UPS in the ass operationally. They expect the fines to be very substantial and to lead to the firing of certain MX managers.
I don't know how reliable all this is, but these 2 guys were tickled by it.

Just ask all the Captains that got LOI's due to MX not being done properly. I am sure management was in there somewhere to get this one dispatched
Remember to fly SAFE out there.

I heard all pilots and dispatchers involved were "advised" by the company to fill out ASAP reports. It seems like UPS management will always blame everyone but themselves.

You must be talking about the incident that generated the latest safety bulletin. "Recently, an MD-11 flew 21 legs without a required MEL deferral."

Since when do we as flight crew have to verify a DMP has been accomplished? Maintenance manuals are not carried on the jets and other than the logbook how else are we supposed to verify the work was properly? The FAA and UPS are both out to lunch here!

You didn't know you had to have a ANP to come to work at UPS? The next must read bulletin will state: pilots have to come in three hours early, so that they can wrench on the jet and clear previous write-ups. I am sure some manager is going to get promoted for this very idea and will show how much money they can save the company! You think I am kidding ....???
