UPS BFI-BWI Questions
Hello!
I am scheduled to jumpseat on UPS from BFI-BWI via SDF later next week.
Could someone please answer these questions for me?
1) Where do I go at BFI?
2) How do I get from the cargo area to the terminal at BWI other than taxi cab? Is there a physical address for UPS cargo area that I can provide to a cab company to take me to the terminal?
Thank you!

Why do this to yourself? Take the real airlines where you don't have to deal with all these unknowns?
As for BFI...just look for the most rusted out trailer and that's our joint. No joke.
Ameriflight next door looks more presentable....yes..the fly by night 135 outfit believes more in corporate image than these UPS 'tards.

You will have to take a cab in BWI. As far as BFI, most cab companies know where the UPS Air Cargo facility is.

But at any rate....whatever form it may be..I am sure it looks like a semi-dump...like the rest of this company.

Not as much as they've wronged the 109.....and semi-wronged the bottom 300...
I have never met a happy UPS guy on the line in the short time I've been here...Since you like it so much.....I must ask....did you enjoy getting hired as a captain?
YOU DO know they furloughed, right??????
just saying....

Yes, I'm aware UPS furloughed 109 of our IPA brothers. Felt it was a poor decision considering UPS was making big money, but all large corporate american companies act this way, share holders first.
You must be hangin with the wrong crowd if you only know disgruntled people here. I make $300,000/yr, worked under 10 days in December ( peak time here ), A plan 1%, B plan 12%, unused sick pay paid out in January, premium health care,.......
Yeah, there's jacked up things here, but in all, it's been a pretty good ride for most.
Again, you can always check out other airline jobs if this place isn't for you.
