Not currently hiring management pilots I know you were part of that dishonorable cabal that stoked fear, uncertainty and fatalism on this pilot group from your position of power at DALPA. One of the things you did was fight tooth and nail to remove any comparison of UPS and FDX (because they're not even in the same business), and our foreign JV competitors (because that information is secret). Nobody buys it. We all know what you did and why you did it. UPS may not have hired for a long time, but we've done almost none ourselves for a very long time. UPS might have management pilots, but we've got a ton of DGS guys and FO's training captains. We have all the same problems as UPS...they just make a LOT more than we do. A LOT more. Carl |

They are in to the " US Treasury Bonds" portion of their career, not the penny stock high risk you propose. It would be nice, but everyone needs to remember that for C2K the average age on the list was below 47, and that makes a huge difference in what one is willing to risk.
The numbers are not in your favor. We as a pilot group seem to be paralyzed by a fear of the unknown and those wedded to the status quo who play to those fears.

Please quantify the risk you are talking about. The absolute worst case scenario is that Nothing Changes. We simply slide past the amenable date with the exact same contract we have today; we lose nothing (except the vaunted time value of money that DALPA touted).
