Default UPS and Asia

Guys,

Do you see UPS establishing a crew base over in Asia sometime in the near/far future?

Just a thought.

Congrats man, at least that's over with now.

(my favorite story with regards to that coffee maker is when GD used a toothbrush to mix sugar for the captain's coffee).

Never..... otherwise they would have done it. I asked about CGN and was told it would probably never happen for one reason or another.

Visa's and work permits would have to be quite an issue for most places.

As would European Labor laws..........Fedex MGT was always touting a European Domicile. When they went over to Europe a couple years ago with ALPA officials, Fedex MGT folks got a real Education copncerning European Labor laws and how they protect the worker.............

In my opinion, we will never open up a domicile over there. It is just always "The Rumor du jour "when other contnentious things come up........

Correct and the RLA doesn't apply over there or in China for that matter.
