Leaving Delta for UPS?- 2021

Love the analogy. Sadly, more and more of our customers are feeling the same way and we all know what happened to WaMu. Not predicting the same, but it shouldn't be ignored.

What folks need to understand is that working for UPS is not like working at other aviation jobs due to it’s vastly different culture. This should be weighed by everyone who wants to work here, and weighed heavily, as money and benefits are not everything in life, especially if you are going to spend the next 20-30 years here. It will get old and tiring very quickly. Combine this unique culture that has been described with the completely eroded schedules and you have a no bueno combination.

Very much this. I’ve lived on both sides of the fence and I’d take UPS any day without a second thought. Very happy here as are many I know. That said, it’s certainly not for everyone.

So let’s see… constantly getting shorted, unable to change schedule due to denials my scheduling, BV days pretty much worthless, always having to watch what you say outside the cockpit, scheduling constantly violating the contract, etc. it doesn’t matter if you work 10 or 30 days a month, at some point you are affected. Throw in the mix our horrific schedules (unless you are super senior and get something decent)…
Good for you guys that think everything is rosy.
FYI, married 25 years with a great life outside of work, great kids, one thing has nothing to do with the other.
There is a reason we are seeing retirements under 65 tick up, have flown with 2 in the last month and half, it ain’t because it’s all balloons and ponies. Lots of people are fed up.

If you think it’s all roses on the other side, you’re lacking perspective.

If retirement, I don’t know a single guy who wishes he would still be here.
As in another job, fair enough, I will give you that. But, there are places that have a better working environment and show some resemblance of decency towards it’s employees.

The other side as in retirement or another job?
