Thx. You're right about fdx pilots. We fight among ourselves instead of unifying against mgmt. Everybody is in it for themselves. Really it's a shame but the culture is everybody is looking for a special deal. Past union leadership has fallen into that numerous times. History will tell if the current MEC falls into that as we'll.

So thats why u don't have the Unity we have. From what my friends there tell me. Which is a good thing!

Agreed.

UPS Labor and the corporate culture of distrust that exists at Brown is one of the main reasons for the unity and strength of the IPA.

Sad but true ...

With such an eclectic background in our group, it should be difficult to organize our pilots. UPS makes it relatively easy to unite.

Back to the thread.

Did anyone else receive the email saying they will have to re-apply for 2015?

I know people who received that email...and I also know that there are interviews scheduled after the first of the year for candidates that applied in 2014.

Is your app status "Active" or "Inactive"?

What is that, about a sixth grade education?Seriously?
The IPA can get released if we hold out or turn down some lame TA. Eventually it would have to happen. And if UPS wants us released, all of a sudden the NMB changes it's tune and releases us since they are UPS's and the DOT lap boy.
If you think the NMB will declare an impasse, YOU'RE either naive or misinformed. Dream all you want, because that is all it is.

UPS is 2% to the global economy and 6% of the US economy.
I could see us being released into a 30 day cooling off period, but I agree with you basic premise that we would never be allowed to actually strike. The President would invoke PEB (Presidential Emergency Board) upon PEB to keep us from doing that...and that's with a Democratic President in office. With a Republican President in office, the thought of us being allowed to strike is laughable. Far too disruptive to big business and our economy to let happen.

100% true. If you think otherwise you are delusional.

My app has always been "active." Not that it will matter when they flush the apps.

Mine still says "Active" Tried to re-apply, but no FO position to apply for. Am I missing something? e-mail said to re-apply after JAN 2.
