UPS- How Come??
 
1. N803up gets put down sent to the desert for retirement.
2. A UPS DC-8 is seen without letters all over the world flying for Murray/National Air hauling military frieght between Bagram and the USA.
3. The tail # is changed but still registered to UPS in Louisville.
4. Layoff crew members and mechanics due to not enough work???
5. Contractor flying a "retired" UPS jet, running military work but UPS claims not enough work to keep you working....
6. Great people company.....WOW

This is because somewhere in the Jim Casey school of hard knocks they have yet to figure out that their employees are their most valuable asset! It's amazing that they have survived for 100 years with this mentality. Their size is the only thing that keeps them in business! Nothing more!

how come?

because ups thinks nothing of violating our collective bargaining agreement.

because ups is an evil and unethical organization.

because ups thinks it can get away with willful violation of federal labor laws.

because ups has so much cash nobody can stop them.

Which airline is this thread about??? :D

Anybody know how long it takes for the FAA to update the registration site?
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 . . . :eek: 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.

Are you surprised? This company is run by a bunch of thugs! I beleive the IPA is already on this, but a phone call would not hurt.

Apparently UPS, Murray/National Air, and possibly (K4) Kalitta Air.

Not FedEx ... yet !

Dawg,

I (K4) don't have a dog in this hunt, but I really hate to see guys get all worked up about what is probably nothing.

I'm sure there are plenty of legitimate causes to be worked up about these days over there.
In my humble opinion, firing wildly at anything that someone perceives to be an issue is not nearly as effective a strategy as concentrating your efforts towards a known target.
Do your homework and concentrate your efforts. Don't get caught up in the rumor mill and all that emotional stuff. That's all counter-productive.
