Why? Because if they could do it that way, they probably already would have.

I've said it here before, UPS is following the exact same plays that they did with our mechanics.
The exact same. If you're not friends with a mechanic, become one. They will tell you how our contract negoiation will go during the next 4 years.
This RDG/VL part 2 serves two purposes for UPS:
1) They're trying to make us loses our faith in our EB.
2) They're trying to break our solidarity policy of no OT, no JA.
Watch how some senior guys will suggest some modification to this solidarity policy. Maybe for our junior guys. Of course, they're itching to hit the trough too.
FWIW

I keep hearing from non- airgroup sources, that we are getting 777s.
It seems that the USAF wants our 767 slots for their tankers. The USAF contract is lucrative, so Boeing is offering discounts on 777 freighters. It does seem to me that we are behind on 76 deliveries, so who knows?
Please take this rumor as with all others, with a grain of salt.
