Default UPS....What happened???

We are approaching year 2 of the furlough at UPS and I was just wondering. What cutbacks has airline management made during this time of reduced profit margins and higher fuel prices? Are FQS's doing extra duties? Flying at all hours of the night? From what I hear, not a thing has changed.

As best I can tell it seems they have actually added to their ranks. Just does not seem to make $ense to me??

Oh well. Here's to hoping all the furloughs are back on property by peak!! Apparently we need all the management we can handle.
Without a strong Union at this place we would truly be in trouble!!

UPS just announced they're recalling 12 more furloughed pilots with a return to pay status of May 2012
