Or, ya know, keep *****ing on APC - whatever works for you.

And no i don't **tch the whole time I fly because I'm too busy worrying about batteries torching off, and conserving energy while fighting fatigue to waste energy on talk.
My post is about it being *****ing 2015! And someone who has been at UPS for 9years has only gone backwards on the seniority list as managers continue to get hired straight to the captain seat. The same junior pilots on the seniority list keep getting hammered whi by the way are also working under the same contract they were hired under and didn't get to vote on
I won't have to quit. My feeling is the junior 300 UPS job isn't going to be here in 5 years.

Don't kid yourself Vito, they have not stopped growing their business, just that the IPA hasn't seen any of it.
Our scope clause is a good...but is it enforceable? It is evident that it is not...no chance ever when we are dealing with thug types at UPS.

I'd be up for learning more about PBS too. My schedule and quality of life can't get any worse than it is now.

What is the point of being personally insulting to someone who is fed up after nine years of being extremely junior? Of course he is sick of it, and I'll bet many people in his shoes feel exactly the same way.
And telling someone to quit and just go out and get another job? Yeah right, as if it was only so easy. Everyone out there is fighting just to get called for an interview.

Shack! Its easier to cut someone down then to admit we have serious problems I guess, as long as your a senior Captain making 350+ a year and working less than ten days a month then I guess life is good!
