Just asking, because from what I've heard, National did buy the jet. If they really did, and they're carrying their own freight, it really has nothing to do with your evil and unethical employer, now does it?

On the other hand . . .
if the evil ones have entered into an underhanded scheme with Murray/National to target UPS pilots and subvert the IPA one airplane at a time . . . OMG!

Sorry guys, I know that this is very near and dear to you, but the sale of an airplane that can't be substantiated because the FAA is slow to update the registration website is hardly proof of a plot against you.

This isn't a meant to be flame, but it should be a sanity check.
This thread is about the IPA, Local 2727 mechs, and UPS, it could eventually end up at YOUR airline by undercutting your job, the new tail number on the aircraft is N151CA registered to UPS so the FAA did thier job. There are work rules about aircraft owned by UPS and operated and maintained by others that my friends is a BIG violation of both unions. So rest assured they do what they want and pay whom they want....I, was just bringing the issue to light so my brothers at the IPA would do what they have to do...

Not taken as a flame however you must understand if you were told at your company, no work out there, parking aircraft, layoff pilots and mechanics and then you see your old aircraft flying scheduled military runs would you not be the least bit concerned? Next it could be your regular Dallas turn? Even if you know they are thugs. Just an FYI money can't buy your way out of everything.

N151CA is for a Shorts.
I'm sure you noticed that the registration certificate for N155CA was issued on 10/9/90. Obviously something is amiss.

I absolutely see your point. Don't necessarily agree entirely with the logic.

OMG ... that number is in my logbook a few times.

just FYI, the CA stands for Clark Aviation (originally based at CXY) then Pennsylvania Commuter Airlines in MDT.

More trivia, many of the CA numbers will also add up to 7.

Enough of that, showing my age ...

Back to the original rant !

Just taging on to this. UPS is not going after or flying the milatary charters they have been awarded. They sell a fleet of airplanes that almost immediately show up flying the same milatary charters . The question is why where the airplanes sold and why didn't UPS use these airplanes to fly the charters.
UPS has chosen to eliminate an entire fleet type and lay off mechanics and pilots.
Given the companies history of less than truthfulness and failure to comply with legally negotiated contracts it appears they are not trusted.

A good hound dog knows his scent - 803/807 struck a cord, found ye olde log book and noted flights in 803UP & 807UP, irony is two months after UPS ends DC-8 flights, there's a couple of freshly painted DC-8's labeled 803DH & 807DH - coincidence - I don't know, but remember just because I'm not paranoid doesn't mean that everyone's not out to get me...
