I seem to remember flying with a guy that was in the hiring pool years ago. When they finally started hiring again, he figured he would get a class. It turns out they said no, you will have to re-interview.

Kudos to the membership for shocking the company with our steadfast support of the solidarity policy. Here's hoping the momentum can be continued.

I've always maintained that it's not our company, and I have no desire to run it, and I have no control over the economy either. But I also maintain that I'll do all that I CAN do to hasten the return of those who want to come back by not picking up or going beyond to allow the company to operate with less. I'll choose not to do management's job, and it would be nice if the FQS' at UPS would stop trying to do mine.
