And that is the correct answer should it come up in the interview

Interesting development... Don’t think this applies to the Airline side...

UPS Offers Buyouts to Some Managers

Parcel giant looks to reduce spending in non-operations roles
UPS is looking for ways to cut costs and redirect resources toward more profitable business lines.
United Parcel Service Inc. is offering buyouts to some management workers, aiming to reduce payroll as the company ramps up investments to handle the surge in online shopping.

UPS is making the voluntary offers to U.S. managers that are eligible for retirement and in non-operations roles. The Atlanta-based company didn’t disclose how many workers are eligible or how many jobs it hopes to cut. It is the first early retirement offer since 2010.

UPS, which is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings Thursday, had more than 454,000 employees at the end of last year, including 374,000 in the U.S. The majority are represented by collective bargaining agreements and aren’t eligible for the buyout offer. UPS is negotiating with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union to renew a contract that expires in July.

The offer is part of an evaluation of the company being led by Scott Price, a former Walmart Inc. executive hired last year as chief transformation officer. In the newly created role, Mr. Price is looking for ways to cut costs and redirect resources toward more profitable business lines.
