Anyone notice how much Open Time is available on the FO side across all domiciles? I believe it will be interesting how it gets filled. Of course there are a few out there "helping out".
I was hoping the recalls would start by June-August timeline, but as those dates rapidly approach, I see no indication of UPS blinking first!

I'm not an SDF guy, but I think the Brown hotel is located downtown.

My only complaint at UPS is the furlough. Yes, I would categorize it as a great job. I've gotten some raw deals from scheduling, but I've had 10x more great breaks such as displacements. I'm way ahead in the end.
My requirements for it being a great job? Fantastic pay, excellent training, superb mx and airplanes, tons of time off, and a great safety culture. The company has responded to the Flt 6 tragedy in an admirable way. What else is there for them to do?
Don't be miserable at UPS. Life is way too short. Obviously perspectives determine your opinion. I'm just saying from my perspective as a junior FO, life is great in SDF. I'm near the bottom on my seat/fleet and I can't touch reserve, which tells me that those more senior are on to something.
If this isn't a "great" job I can only imagine what one must be like. (And no, I'm not mgt. Just stating my opinion and that of most of those with whom I fly.)
Ready for the arrows.

Every few years it's the flavor of the week. Now it's FedEx. People are so shortsighted it's unbelievable. What will the flavor of the week be in 5 years?
