The Cap and Bank style contracts cause airlines to over staff, likewise pilots refuse to give up a little of theirs when times get tough. I am not saying the FDX 4a2b provision is the answer as you need good policies in place to prevent as many peaks and valleys as you can. As long as we eat our young then I guess your statement holds some water.
I hope all the Brown pilots get back on the list and they send all you FQS to the furlough line, part of the business when you are an at will employee too

Please quit wasting peoples time and quit posting your dribble as to what is happening here at UPS. You management types don't know jack and if you did, none of us real UPS pilots want to hear it anyway! So p i s s off!

Agreed. Its a double blow
Will the UPS feeders be affected by this?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the USPS stuff is more hub to hub?

I guess I meant to say it's more mainline flying to mainline destinations. Is FedEx putting USPS volume on their feeders?
