As you can see, Dec 2012 doesn't do much for the IPA. It's over 2 years just to get the furloughees back, assuming UPS wants to keep the number of pilots that they have today. The only thing to drive hiring is the NPRM, but UPS will drive as much through SCS as they can before adding IPA pilots. I was told years ago that being senior at UPS is better than passenger carriers, but being junior is much worse. No kidding, look at the 109. The pilots that are bullish at UPS are the ones not on the back of the whipsaw.

Oddly enough Fred Smith is the "hero" of both pilot groups...strange world.

Been watching these threads for a while now. Buddy of mine at FedEx (biased I know) put it to me like this:
"FedEx is an air frieght company with trucks, UPS is a trucking company with airplanes."
The events of the past few months and the insight from those inside seem to corroborate this.
