Remember that old commercial, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." In this case, I think "brownie" means Full Of S@&t.

Brownie knows all of this. It has been explained to him/her that our pay rates are similar. If anything our work rules are more rewarding. Both companies are the dream job in the industry right now. Brownie knows that if 4A2b were implemented it cuts our hours. UPS just lays off pilots for 3 years or so.

Brownie knows that if 4A2b were implemented some FDX pilots would get paid less than some UPS Pilots on an annual basis (although still obscenely more than the furlolughed UPS guys). Brownie also knows that in order for that to happen the FDX pilots would be assigned fewer trips across the ocean. In other words his/her premise of 16 days and 12 days is factual wrong. In browie's example the FDX guy would be working 5 days to brownie's 12. Although in reality the truth would be about 10 days and 200K to brownie's 12 days and 220K (or brownie's 0 days and 000K if brownie happened to be furloughed).

I suspect brownie has been a little stagnant at UPS the last 5 years or so and can see FDX expanding and hiring. In short brownie is suffering from a little Purple envy.

Is brownie the same female UPS pilot with the baby picture avatar that kept getting banned here? Just curious cause it would explain a lot.

I think it is interesting that TM put out the FCIF when he has now filled JP's slot in safety and he moved on to contract enforcement. I truly is like musical chairs

Just wanted to get off the current line of brown vrs purple bashing. We are both extreemly lucky not to be in the pax aspect of the industry!
