Welcome to the group everybody!
Welcome to the group everybody!
My guess is they originally had some MD11s planned...scrapped that plan and had to fill in with some airframe.

To replace the retirements and staff those additional airframes, we’ll likely need more new pilots than they can train in a year.

Asia volume on the light twins has been pretty heavy, although with a few less segments per day. Hopefully Asia recovers soon and Europe doesn’t go downhill.
We wont hear the world is ending until it happens yesterday. But you know, glass half full and all that......

I don’t think anyone including UPS knows what is going to happen over the next few months. If this causes a worldwide recession, I would not be surprised to see hiring stop at the very least. It’s just an opinion, but I’ve been here long enough to know UPS will not run fat on employees. Let’s all hope for the best.
