Once again asked and answered at today’s meeting.

You do realize that not all 5000+ pilots were at the meeting, I have no idea what they said. And I won’t take your word for it, that’s for sure, I’ll be in contact my rep soon.

We UPS pilots would love to know what they said about wet leasing and belly freight. We have some very limited provisions in our scope clause but it is policed and we have been awarded damages from prior violations.

While you’re on here: is your international flying protected? Ours is pretty much not unless it touches the Lower 48.

Nothing is protected!

”Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Company may continue to interline, co-load, code-share, part charter and en- ter into block space agreements with other carriers to move freight and service in International (outside the contiguous 48 states) markets as required.
Within the Domestic system (the contiguous 48 United States) the use of the above shall be done only: (1) when necessary to expedite or (2) when economically necessary, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.”

I was asking the UPS pilot about theirs.

Yo, oncewasNoWork, what do you say to that?

We need to strengthen Scope, international and domestic, period. Without doing so the rest of the CBA gains are pointless when we lose our jobs to pilots paid less than us.

It’s happening already! Our 757 EUR flying is going away because our pilots are being replaced by ASL pilots. We are already losing flying, TODAY. Should we wait to see what the company’s plans are for Asia flying, and leave Scope for 5-7 years from now? Fck no!!! (Obviously, I’d love for the TA’d section 1 to address all of this, but I bet it’s not).

OncewasNowork! 😆. That’s funny! (Spot on also; he has to be, in an even more inane and aggressive incarnation)

I agree with most everything except the UPS statement. They do just as much wet leasing and belly freight as we do if not more. This was discussed at the meeting today. We are all entitled to our own opinions but not our own facts. Making up unsubstantiated statements isn’t helpful except to add confusion and discord. That is not what we need at this point.

This could not be further from the truth, regarding belly freight and wet leasing. Outside of peak as allowed by our CBA and the now terminated temporary agreement between CGN and HKG, UPS moves all their packages. Nothing else moves outside the UPS system.

Now if you are talking about freight, we sold that division in the last 18 months. I believe it is still UPS branded for a bit longer. Also some, not all of our non air packages get placed in UPS travel trailers/containers and moved by rail, depending on distance and economics.

If your group is being told this, it is outright incorrect.

Cowards spew BS and false information on forums. People with integrity show up and actually listen and get involved. I see what side of the spectrum you are on.

Go back through the Unions and company’s history of rubbing each others back and. Ow we have de Shaw. How was the last contract that barely passed viewed now and I believe tagged to it a lawsuit that is under a gag order. Lots of history we do not know about. Read everything you are sold and analyze everything you are not told.

I will make my mind up when I see the TA….which at this rate will be in two
more years.

No concessions, fix the scope and leading industry pay rates.
