I hope not. A lot of us left K4 for UPS.

Well maybe you can hang once again with some old buds within the confines of the one big happy family of Brown. Good Times!
*Or was your reference in terms of line numbers/seniority? Wonder if Brown would staple them under OR re-interview which wouldn’t be unheard of. It’s a crazy world we live in. K4 keeps on keeping on.

Well I heard K4 is buying UPS….and stapling them to the bottom of the seniority list. Overheard at a pizza meeting.

Seniority. Got some friends still there that were junior to me.

Thats pretty messed up. You hope a company you used to work at doesn’t get picked up by a better company just because you may lose a couple seniority spots.

With that said, I just don’t see it happening. Why would UPS want us? They don’t want the OSC MX base or the YIP training center. As for airplanes we have like 6 owned 76s but they just ordered a bunch more so why would they want ours. If they wanted more 74s I’m sure they could of kept the Dash 8 production open with Boeing instead of buying a bunch of old 74s from us. We have one 777 freighter + the orders which would be a new type for them, again doesn’t make much sense. They gain 750ish pilots but why wouldn’t they instead hire at their own pace.

rest easy..pretty sure WhaleWrangler's comment was tounge in cheek

And, UPS did surpass 3,000 finally within the past year or so after decades of hovering below it. They may be below it again but have some growth as everyone has or has tried to during this viral debacle, it’s no secret. To gain well over 500 pilots and old or even new iron would blow their minds. Definitely tongue and cheek, but if not it would be a step up for most any place just basing it on $/retirement predominantly. Whatever outfit anyone is with, route structure/ownership and then assets drive absorption a lot of the times.

Not a secret what Brown can do for you, or do to you - (sarcasm to clarify, but some reality in the statement)

Not the first time over the past couple of months I've heard the rumor though. Who knows what could happen, just doesn't make any sense to me.

What happened last time UPS bought an airline? For you youngsters search UPS Challenge Air Cargo.

Whoever eventually buys k4 will have to deal with our extensive scope provisions concerning such a move...no buying of just assets (like UPS did), crews and cba go with airline, alpa merger policy or no sale....being stapled is a thing of the past anyway with McCaskill-Bond as law
