Let them ask all they want. The IPA's stance should be, "F*ck you", plain and simple until EVERYONE is back on property or all furloughees are being paid at full rate. Until either one of those happen, business as usual around here.

You are giving them WAY too much credit to say they can see what's going on around them.

One company is planning for the future, one is reacting to the present.

Actually is more like one company is planning for the future and one is reacting to the past. I thought the reccession was over and wasn't Scott Davis the first ceo announcing it on cnbc last fall!!!!. It was never about the loads and money just remember our ex vp lick b..s was the one calling for the furlough and he was the same person that authorized every airplane fly in to sdf the night of xmas eve 2005 when our own meterology dep and every tv channels were predecting the mother of all blizzards to hit louisville so when managment talks about planning specially for the future pretend that you're at a comedy club and listening to the funniest blabber that very moment. Just remember at ups set your goals and standards low and you will never be disappointed.

Carry on.

There can be NO positive remarks regarding anything about UPS. Anything even remotely positive will be bombarded with a cascade of shrill, wild-eyed, spittle mouthed condemnations and calls for resignation of any and everyone associated with IPA.

Just think...you could be at United.
