Does UPS have a corporate AC/fleet?

I was wondering if brown has a corp flt department. You think a company moving at the speed of commerce would have something. Maybe a NJA account? Just curious.

Not aware of one. The airline certainly doesn't. The airline management folks move on the regular fleet on jumpseats. Perhaps the corporate folks in ATL have something on the side, but I was in ATL a few years back and saw a very senior ATL manager (corporate) boarding a Delta jet. Certainly no FedEx style flight dept in ATL though. Maybe a truck--- er feeder- corporate dept that gets them from place to place.

Just give Scott D. time. I am sure he is working on a fleet of Gulfstream 650's and Helo's.

No pay raise is too big. No Perk too great!

UPS management tries to put just about anyone on the jumpseat, to avoid spending money on a commercial ticket (too cheap). This includes schedulers, HR, etc...

Some captain have nads enough to deny them the jumpseat. This is perfectly legal. ie. no license, no ride. Mechanics,dispatchers, offline pilots are no problem. Other captains either don't care or don't understand their authority and are willing to take anyone the company lists, sad!

UPS employees, then everyone else. Offline is first come, first served. I think offline can reserve a seat 10 days out. However, you can be bumped all the way up to departure time...unlike FDX that won't boot you inside of 24 hrs. What can Brown do for you!?

(they'll do this to their own pilots as well...)
