UPS hiring FQS
 

If you consider yourself a scab or have aspirations of becoming one, apply within!

:mad:

Scum only need apply!!

Here's another scab job for those who don't meet the minimum quals. UPS will upgrade you to a flying scab position later after they furlough more line pilots. Good luck, when you hit the line!

Call me ignorant, but why are these jobs considered scab jobs? Is there a picket line that I'm unaware of in SDF or ANC? I've seen plenty of external job postings for instructor positions at airlines.

Does it suck that they'd do this while pilots are on furlough? Yes- but take that out on the company- not the person who takes a job doing NON-STRUCK work...

Please, educate me...

Well, "struck work" is a bit of a moot point at UPS. Many believe we would never be released from mediation to strike, because of the % of U.S. economy reliant on UPS (that's logistics). Who knows if that's true, but it would be sweet irony to come back from a furlough only to go right out on strike.

You would have to work here to get the "education" you desire.

However if you do not see a problem with NURPS (Non Union Replacement Pilots) being hired while union pilots are being furloughed.......I cannot help you.

I agree, however, that the word Scab does not apply as many seem to imply. A scab is someone who crosses a picket line. There is no strike currently under way at UPS. As Buck pointed out I am not sure UPS or FedEx would ever be allowed to strike. I would not recommend anyone taking a "management" FQS position though. It will be a very lonely place. It pays okay, but not for the amount of work required.

Come on IPA guys (if you actually are). I know it's beyond frustrating how our company treats us, but you gotta keep your head in the game and fight smart. Do not throw the scab term/idea around regarding the FQSs or anybody who may apply for one of these jobs. SCAB is not even close to appropriate describing these people. Fight smart and keep your heads in the game. JMO

Why would they not offer this up to the guys currently on laid off to get them off the street? Is there some disconnect between the "management" pilots and the "line" pilots?

Not looking to throw gas on the fire, just figure out why so many people seem to hate the place (given the pay scale).

If he knows this thread is about stUPidS Airlines, he must be joking, flaming or completely out in left field.
