Could UPS go back to a contractor model? I doubt it - that ship's probably already sailed. But, I definitely see the point FreightPuppy is making.

Although they run over our contract daily, the cost of attempting this and losing the arbitration would be billions and they are not willing to gamble with this, no one is willing to put their career on the line for a multi billion dollar mistake.

You do realize that the time the APU starts and stops is recorded and reported, the speed flown is recorded and reported, the time each engine runs during taxi out and in is recorded and reported. There are no secrets on modern airplanes, and any of this information can and will be used against you, including your termination hearing. Good Luck!
BTW, unemployment gets expensive also.
