Western Global/21Air contracting to end
6/29/19.
UPS is so short of pilots and lift that they began contracting with Western Global for 6 MD11s, 21Air for 2 767s, and a Star 767 in Europe. This is a clear violation of the contract with the IPA pilots.
IPA will receive 3 extra days of vacation per IPA pilot or 15 hours of pay. While this blatant violation of the UPS/IPA contract is unnerving to state the least it is reassuring to have an end date and a substantial penalty for UPS.

The IPA did a good job on this. Best part is there is an end date in sight. Honestly it I think 3 days of vacation was a little light. Glad to see the IPA get us something out of this. I guess ups didn’t buy the right arbitrator.

1.5 years of subcontracting and all we get are 3 BV days or 15 hrs pay ($2,600). I was definitely expecting more than that.
But hopefully this will put the fire to UPS to buy more airplanes ASAP.

BT said in a previous video the subcontracting flying represented 13 lines of flying.
~$12M penalty for 18 months of subcontracting is $8M/year, and when divided by 26 pilots gives a per-pilot annual average north of $307k.
Of course we’d all like more, but that checks...
We are also scheduled to take 27 more airplanes (15 -8F, 3 767BCF, 9 767F) between now and the end of 2020 to go with the six -8 we’ve already had delivered.
