Default Masks?

I was wondering if anyone could inform me of UPSs mask policy and culture (culture being what most people actually do).

I want to know if people are having to wear masks walking thru the hangar, in the flight deck, in the Jumpseat and in training, perticilarly ground school. Trying to find a gig that requires significantly less mask wearing than 121 PAX.

Kinda funny post. You’re just gonna hop over to UPS if the mask policy is right? Considering it’s a year long process, doesn’t seem to make any sense. But we wear masks. Required as a jumpseater.

It may not be your intention, but this seems more like trolling than a serious question

Actually I’m trying to get out of doing something I hate. Major quality of life problem. When I started this career I never signed up for this ****, seriously considering leaving the industry entirely, this mask **** is like the last straw.

Sounds like you will truly be happier in another line of work.

At the risk of being non-PC a maybe you need to take a hard look at yourself and find out when you turned into a pumpkin spice soy latte snowflake.
I think I found it:

Back in 06 I followed my dream, took out a massive, exorbitant loan that my parents co-signed on and spent the next ten years in debt servitude, "paying my dues" during the greatest economic downturn since the great depression. I spent two years flying Pipers in 110 degree heat with people who could hardly speak english 12 hours a day hating life, regretting the career. Then I got a little 135 gig for a year, and QOL improved although of course they didn't actually pay me anything.

And then in 2011, I FINALY got on with the regional airline five dammed years after I started. And things were fairly good for a while. I mean I grossed 23k the first year and was making payments on student loans, but I enjoyed the job, got a decent amount of time off, and traveled, staying in hostels or camping on Maui or whatever, I gotta admit, it was rather sweet......WAS
Its not the mask, it’s you.
You’re just projecting and blaming everything in sight.

We wear masks everywhere. We wear masks to sleep. They make us wear masks at home. They make out KIDS wear masks. You'd hate it.

I feel ya. If i could find any other job that paid like mine with the same amount of time off that didn’t require me to wear a mask, I’d take it yesterday. It bothers me how our entire country has just bent over and taken everything that’s been given to them.
