There is always HKG!
The IPA has to seriously pursue FDX Deadhead Policy. Why there is not a swell of IPA'ers asking for this is beyond me. Apathy?
The company would have to hire 150 over night. And this is something our main peer has had for generations. When one has to get to Europe or Asia on an Airline, the Trip-rig just expanded 24 hours minimum. Less Block hours covered, and so on. And UPS is beholden to the Airline Schedules. Not the UPS airplane leaving in two hours.
This is a must if people want significant hiring.

The TNT freight/packages will just go on bigger airplanes which will not create more jobs, remember that more volume doesn't mean more seats. It may actually mean fewer seats as they put a bigger airplane on a run and combine two cities and go from two small airplanes to one bigger airplane that makes two stops, the 757 is a small airplane in our fleet.
UPS is revising the network, we saw a pull down on the RFD hub operations on the schedule bid that is currently available , reducing flying.UPS has spare 757's stacked around the system that are under utilized due to the network modifications that are being implemented. There is also a reduction in international flight hours on the pac rim .
None of the people commenting on the open time /ja ban situation have obviously spoken to the IPA office or the EB directly. As to the comments on politics its just a few guys making noise with no knowledge.
The IPA works every day to convince the company to recall our laid off pilots.

Reading some of these posts reveals how clueless some of our members are. Making statements from the cheap seats is often entertaining, but there are many that read this gossip forum and take it as gospel.
Have you even contacted an EB member?
The number of conspiracy theorists here is amazing!

UPS over crowded? You mean managers?
I agree that it will be some time before we see anything other than 15 year upgrades. Except for the special group.
Just remember this when it is time to vote.
