so how do you reconcile that with the other statements you make about your job including this one I read this morning:

"If you're lucky, they won't hire you. This place sucks, go somewhere else instead."

AA's pilot group is very young, compared to CO/DL/US/NW and others. The average age of their pilots is in the mid/late-40s. There will be nowhere near 80% retiring in the near future, trust me.[/QUOTE]

Not compared to DL anymore

UPS does suck to work for. That does not change the fact that they are incredibly successful and financially stable.

One mans opinion. They aren't my favorite people in the world, but the check clears nicely every two weeks. They don't bother me on my off time, and they don't bother me when I am at work. They will never make the list of best places to work in america, but if you don't take their behavoir persoanlly, it is a pretty good job. Maybe you need to take a deep breath and step away from them for a while? I could probably name ten companies off the top of my head that would suck to work for, UPS would not make that list. Could it be better? Sure. Could it be worse? Absolutly

They own them, and there was a plan to send pilots to eagle in lieu of a furlough. Many thought that worse than a furlough apparently <G>

40.3% of American will retire in the next 10 years is my math. That's assuming all furloughs go back. Thats a big chunk of the pilot group! So, yes, they will start hiring promptly after recalls, keep in mind, Eagle has a flow through. But they will still hire some off the street.
