Meant 1 "chargeable" accident. Dubai was not UPS's fault. BHM will come down as a chargeable accident. Probably 95% crew error.

One??????? Let's try 2 fatal and one lucky ass DC-8 crew and several other very very close calls. UPS is one of the luckiest airlines in the world. Any of the above could have killed hundreds on the ground if they had gone down anywhere else. UPS is also a relatively new airline compared to the "other airlines" you have mentioned above. They have also benefited from the mistakes made by such "other airlines". How bout thank God for MOST of the IPA pilots and their experience! As an FO, I fly with FQS several times a year, and let's just say experience is not one of their qualities!

No FQS has been involved in an accident

And you can thank the FO he was flying with from keeping him out of one!

FQSs have the highest incidence of violations...just how do you get a rwy incursion in PHL? How does FH get violated during a crossing? Is it because of their "superior airmanship"? Flt 6 is laid at ups doorstep because of their failure to install EVAS on aircraft that are carrying the most dangersous material shipped...lithium metal batteries. I heard that because they are self-insured, ups actually made money from this crash.

The DC8 into PHL should have been a wakeup call for EVAS and was instead ignored by these "superior airmen." I remember Pet Rock turning a 757 90 degrees at 30 kts groundspeed...how safe it that? I was shocked beyond words and was grateful the gear held.

The only reason FQS hasn't had a major accident (unless you count the MD11 they bent to hell) is because they cherry pick their flying to fly the least hazardous/tiring pairings to get their flying. When have you EVER seen a FQS operating 3 SDF-ABQ-PHX-SDF in a row? Never...but they consider that "safe" for a line guy.

Your prissy superiority being "promoted" into management is actually sickening. What is worse is when you start believing that maybe you are "more talented" than a line guy. What you guys do is backstab your union brethren to get to the left seat early. Well, you guys may be in the left seat, but you're not capts in my book

I have heard that the A300 Training people are quite good.

You sir, are an idiot to even think this.

Please educate the active duty USAF pilot who is getting ready to transition to the civilian flying world.

If the FQS positions are so full of controversy, then why doesn't the union go to the mat with management during the next contract negotiations?
