Nice job by your brethren sending out the 5 year certs to the furloughed bubbas. Another shining example of who we work for.

2. UPS makes billions and billions on our backs, while treating us like crap. They would turn their back on you in a heartbeat and think nothing of it.
So when you start talking about efficiencies that would cause the company to use less pilots, well that stings a little bit. Our only strength is to have more IPA pilots. Leverage is wonderful thing when your dealing with this group from Atlanta!
Keep flying and good luck!

BTW, nearly every single UPS and FEDEX pilot has come up through the ranks similar to where you're at and flown the crappy flying that exists while you're working your way up the ladder. It is difficult and challenging right now, but one day you will realize it was some of the best flying you ever did. Enjoy the ride.

For me, the possibility of sitting reserve in ANC while living there would be amazing.

You have a lot more to learn about UPS based on your last statement. You just insured that if you ever get a job offer from UPS it will be for SDF or MIA !

Half of our new hire class was sent to ANC, but the one guy who already lived there and wanted to be based in Anchorage was sent to SDF.

Guys look longing at the payrate and historical time to CA. That's all the care about when they are usually affected far more by furloughs, work rules and manager discretion decisions.
