Yes. We will continue to get the CFI's and Corporate folks. Like the recent classes indicate.

UPS may just bypass them and choose others in the pool because they know these individuals will always have a bitter view of the company.

Let's sit back, wait for the EB to advise us and move on from there.

All very good points. My union speaks for me!

I didn't think that it was possible for UPS pilots to live beyond their means. With all the dough they make and all....yikes!!

This, coming from "Loon", who was very much considering the NURP job, which I'm guessing, he has taken now.

I'm very sorry for the guys/gals caught up in this mess. What a f*()&^ng disgrace, for UPS to treat new-hires that way.

Trans States Airlines - November 2009.

We were recalls though, so not new-hires.

Doesn't exist when the business model is out-sourcing and parking planes.

Please don't nobody mention scope violations. That scope guy will be here in seconds scolding us that UPS is an honest company.

:eek::eek:

Nope. UPS loves pis*ed off employees. It causes us to focus on how much we dislike our managers (idiots) and do our job.

Once you figure this out, it makes the job easier.

If I were part of this group of 24, or even one of the dozen or so that we have in class, I would beg my previous employer to take me back.

I have a bad feeling that we could be in for another salvo of lay offs, as we are knee deep in negotiations, and new hires make the perfect fodder for whatever games they want to play. Just ask any of the 109.

And with our airline within an airline, it makes it all that much easier.

This could be bad, and I hope I'm wrong.

Carry on........
