757 - domestic - includes Canada/Mexico
757Z - international - rest of the world. There are domestic trips on some of these lines.

Seriously though, new folks - not easy to do but yes, even the new folks please start saving money. The teamster strike will probably happen and yes, we WILL honor it.

Long story short, scabs in the workplace are an endless source of labor problems. A few probationary pilots crossing the picket line won’t keep the operation running, but would create a years long headache for management. The company would rather you honor the picket line and then we can all get back to work once the Teamsters get a contract.

The last Teamsters strike of UPS was 1997. It lasted 16 days. No probationary IPA pilots crossed Teamster lines, none lost their job.
