So thank you but no thanks!

2- Are you kidding? When you are home, your in the office 12 hours a day doing nothing more than busy work.
3- I do that anyway
4- I am happy with what I make.
5- I do that already (a wise Capt once told me Best job I would ever have, worst people to work for) Completely True
6- I don't do your bidding, you fly the trips I choose not to fly. I like having a schedule two months out than I can count on unlike you that gets a called half hour before show after you have been in the office all day and told to Fly to HKG or your fired!
I have a piece of advice for you, Sign your union card and turn it in if you haven't done it already and urge the rest of your buddies to do the same. If you want my prediction you guys will either be absorbed by us or you will be fired by UPS. When the NMB see's your play book and how all you do is our jobs I am sure they will make you part of the IPA. UPS answer is going if we can't control these guys then why have them around? We could pay a brand new hire 33 dollars an hour to do his job and it will take him 10 years make what these FQS are making from day one, for the same job.

No divorce here, still on on "A" plan.

I am a wannabe pilot now that I know you make 300K
. Maybe I can get some strings pulled with 700 hrs of fixed wing multi engine experience.

The furlough has already lasted too long. It was too long when it started. Bridges, yeah...
As far as the last sentence, I work when scheduled. No more no less.
NO WAIVERS, NO FAVORS, I FLY THE CONTRACT.
