Me too!!

Congrats to those who are coming back.....

 

I was in that pool and I am sure it was flushed!!

 

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.

 

We might also want to award kudos to the real reasons, retirements and steady earnings. I don't think there was any shock involved. We can hope for continued momentum along these lines and future economic success, and a better understanding of how unions don't and can't run companies.

 

Perhaps not shock, but disappointment that we didn't cave as so many other pilot groups have. I recently jumpseated on Alaska and they have finally recalled all their furloughees, and will soon be hiring (unless the occupy bowel movement goes after them next). The F/O in particular was pretty disgusted that their pilots continued picking up open-time with guys on the street for so long, and both were sure that it delayed recalls.

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.

 

The most sensible thing I've ever heard you say. Here or the B&G. Thanks for holding the line for all us Spartans, Bob. Very much appreciated.

 

Obviously you have never flown with him. He is a very smart guy and good good friend.

 

Hes one of my favorite Captains I flew with at UPS.

 

Great News... and congrats the Lucky Six.
May this be the first of many in returning all back to the UPS campus.

 

8 more to be recalled in January.
