I actually met a paranoid schizophrenic who swore he was out to get himself.


I don't know. They seems like nice guys to me.

I'm sure you noticed that the registration certificate for N155CA was issued on 10/9/90. Obviously something is amiss.
Sorry it is 155ca.

151CA, I flew that wreck also...4498Y another Shorts that we see on the ramp in SDF.

Here's a question for the "hunting dawgs", who owns all the Bluebird/Maersk airplanes that fly out of Cologne.

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...
RD.
For a period of time, (mid 80's) UPS owned a lot of American Airlines MD-80's. Are you saying that flying should be ours too? Where in the contract does it spell out that all UPS "owned" aircraft will be flown by IPA crew members? FWIW, UPS does in fact go after military charter flying. I'm on one of those trips now. I see a lot of those trips in the current bid package as well.

As an non UPS pilot, I'd have to ask a couple of questions.

Since the military splits up their business, is UPS flying their full allotment of flying on other planes? If so, then UPS can't just go out and fly more. It doesn't work that way. The cargo business is further split between contoured and non contoured (IE: B 747 and AN 124). So you'd have to look at that too. I know that UPS is on the FedEX team and you'd have to look at the split of business within your team too. An example is that World flies the contoured cargo within the Alliance team using our MD-11's. Since we got B 747's, we can only fly the non contoured cargo that our teams primary member (Evergreen) can't handle.

i will let Salty address the bulk of this. From indications UPS is not flying its full allotment.

I don't think that's right that UPS and FDX are on the same team. Are you sure about that?

To be honest, I can't find a referrence on the internet for fy 2010. I know that the teams change year by year and I was supprised when someone told me FedEx and you were on the same team. The general drift is the same. Is UPS flying it's full alloment or not? We have planes sitting, but we can't fly any more mil cargo. We are at our limit.

Little time, but I'll pull them up when I have a moment, UPS and FedEx are two different team leaders. UPS competes against the FedEx team. National is on the UPS team and is using a former UPS DC-8 to fly UPS Team FY2010 International Airlift Charter contract award that UPS won't fly, but turns over to Kalitta, Southern, National. UPS basically flies what the others can't (hit DOD govt. limits like your airline). UPS is only flying more in FY2010 because they actually bid higher for FY2010.
No reason UPS can't put the excess airlift capacity into flying more of the UPS Team award.
