Fatigue: IPA taking leadership role
#12
What good would a b!tchboard be without any b!tching?
While UPS and FDX pilots sniping at each other on APC doesn't help anything (and IPA's President asked in the past for people not to do so), ALPA's refusal to join the IPA in its lawsuit against the FAA three years ago didn't win friends and influence people as far as the perception of Purple and Brown pilots "pulling the same direction" on this issue.
While we chose different paths, we sought the same goal -- inclusion of cargo pilots in Part 117. How UPS pilots could view FedEx pilots as working against them, or the other way around, is beyond me. I believe we have both been pulling in the same direction, albeit using different ropes.
If it's always going to come down to "do it our way or else", it will be very difficult for two large, diverse groups to work together, don't you think?

A place where dreams go to die, usually filled with old men talking with their hands, searching for anything with the word free attached to it especially coffee, lots of *****ing, moaning and general complaining about everything under the sun. Pretty close?

TCAS requirement for Part 135 aircraft
Official observer status within ICAO
NATS min separation rules

Couple other goodies more than 20 years back:

Together we WILL get Cargo pilots included, they were in the initial language; it was CAA member lobbying to cut cargo out in the first place.
Let's keep this about working to FIX problems in the profession, not about some individual's feelings about the largest pilots union in the world.
(Oh, and only one of the four National officers has a mustache.)

Funny how when a UPS type wanders into a FDX thread, there's all manner of caterwauling.
