That's because everything negative posted on the internet must be done by disgruntled employees and not true.

 

You didn't like flying with chicks that looked like mountain men?

 

Is it possible we're all different? That we deal with setbacks in different ways? Maybe there's no right or wrong way? You know, half-full versus half-empty perceptions? Do all fedex guys/gals think alike?? It's a serious question. Do they?

You said you aren't trying to denigrate ups but is that an honest statement? :-)
After all, you spent some 2 milliseconds of your career at ups and then left for fdx. Which is awesome for you, and i mean that sincerely. ..except you never truly left.
You've been lingering here and posting about ups for years, even AFTER you medical'ed out/retired.

Yeah, yeah, I know, you've stayed in touch with your friends here, etc., etc...
I just don't get it when our guys lecture your company or union on the alleged 757 B-scale, etc... I really don't get it, think we should all stick together.
Likewise I don't understand why you can't leave your ultra-short ups past behind you and leave the hating of our company to us? We're plenty good at that ourselves. ..and we're pretty vocal about our disgust for the way things are, wouldn't you say?

Obviously you can do as you please and maybe your criticism is helpful? Who knows...
Wish you the best in your retirement and a speedy recovery from your heart issues (I mean that).

Just wish there was more of an objective perspective here, you know, ideas, suggestions, something we could all use. "This is what works here and this is what's better there"... Sort of like fedelta used to post having experienced fedex and delta.

Personally I wish there was a Cargo CAPA or an organization where the best brains of FDX's ALPA, UPS' IPA and other cargo carrier's unions would get together to come up with a plan for our future.

In my admittedly biased view I believe your question should say:

 

Whalesurfer,

Seriously, thanks for the laugh. As for my "heart issues", they've been over for going on 8 years now. As far as "my heart belongs to ups", well all I can say again is, thanks for the laugh, which is a lot nicer than saying YGFBSM.

 

My apologies, read an old post of yours and didn't realize it's been that long since your medical problem. Good to hear all is good!
As far as the rest, oh well, couldn't understand your fascination with a place you'd left so many years ago, seriously that's all. No disrespect was intended.

 

None taken. I guess my fascination stems from some guys here always saying how great a place to work UPS is. The self-delusion is simply amazing, however, in the future, I'll try to restrain myself. Promise.

 

I, too will probably be p1ssed off for many years after finally I'm pardoned from this **** hole of a wannabe airline!

 

Is it possible to commute having a Louisville base? And if so what is a typical monthly line like?

 

week on, week on, week on, week on.

and...you will be flying 2 legs to get there, most likely.

 

you are so negative....

I bet you intentionally left out the opportunity to be an FO for your entire career and the stability of working under the same labor contract for 10 years at 2.25% dues........

and how come you did not mention the easier to calculate 1% multiplier vs fedex 2%......

you also did not mention the wonderful non-union workforce that is growing....

And airplanes that are so dirty that with such little effort you can write "wash me" on them with your fingers.....

Like I said,,, you are so negative,,,
