    KC-135's

    different wings different fuselage -135s never had an FE But somehow you get a 707/720 type for flying -135s. The -135 must have been pretty revolutionary back in the 50's for flying without an FE.

    An opportunity?

    Get the MBA! I got mine and then was lucky enough to get hired at UPS in 2005. The MBA and FInance concentration will really set you up to choose your future rather than have luck and the price of oil determine it for you. LJS, MBA

    UPS Pool

    We are tremendously overstaffed!! There are scores perhaps hundreds of pilots who have averaged less than 100 hours a year over the last 10 years at UPS. UPS has mismanaged its crew force and is finally starting to realize it. They don't need the reserve coverage we have and they are in the...

    AA recalls starting to increase

    Mgt's exclusive purpose is to maximize shareholder value by getting/keeping the stock up. AMR's management is the best in the business. The proof being that AMR did not file bankruptcy while all the others did. AMR furloughed like mad and "shrank to profitability" post 9/11, and did not...

    letter from retired AAA captain

    Go it alone!? How does the APA at American do it? ALthough smaller, how does the IPA manage to protect UPS pilots without ALPA? That letter has a lot of fear mongering in it, IMO.

    Delta now or Fedex in 2 years

    Delta=Brigitte Nielson (used to be hot, but is now worn out and ugly) FDX=Jessica Alba (very hot with a long future ahead of her)

    UPS shipping?

    nope.

    K & $ 737 type

    But how many hours a month could/did you bill? I doubt it was the 40 hours a week/160 hours a month that a waiter does plus the tips. It is a shame that we have professional pilots making chicked feed wages at our airlines. I am surprised that anyone would try to defend the wages our CFIs...

    Southwest pilot talks proceed quietly

    Don't buy the bull that you are the best paid in the industry, because you are not. Take a look at the total compensation at FDX and UPS and shoot for what they/we have in terms of retirement and work rules. The pay at SWA looks great, just not at the expense of funding your own retirement and...

    To anyone interested in US Airways

    Null and void. The old US Airways is nonexistent. The company you are referring to is actually America West and they are not bound by what the previous mgt at the company they took over did. The US Airways name is the same but it is an entirely new entity under the law. It would be no different...

    UPS and college degree

    Not likely at all, although it has happened. Supposedly UPS has not been happy with some of the newhires from the ACMIs. No flying issues just other non-flying related employee stuff. Also, supposedly the leadership in the MD-11 training dept are pushing hard towards hiring military tanker...

    Madatory UTA's

    Some aspects of the AFRES were more rigid and idiotic than the AD. I feel your pain. I dealt with some mickey mouse BS as well and just decided to quit playing. I miss the flying and 75% of the folks from the 18th, but have not regretted my decision at all. I had 8 years to go, but decided...

    Ups

    Depends where you live. I've never seen anything about it having to be a highly rated or even regionally accredited school. Regionally accredited means it's academically respected, while nationally accredited means you won't be getting accepted into Harvard grad school with that degree. Look...

    Ups

    Quite a few means 3 or 4 out of the nearly 400 hired since 9/11. Like you said it ain't impossible, but highly unlikely.

    Ups

    Guam360-- You were job searching way back in 2004-2005 when I was. You gave me some advice on HPA and SWA. How is it that you can afford a 737 type, but do not have the money to finish a 4 year degree? I certainly don't mean to bust your chops, but there are some extremely easy bachelor...

    Ups Vs Swa

    I was hired at both and chose UPS. My reasoning was that UPS has much better benefits, compensation, variety of flying, and operates in a much more secure industry than SWA. My number one reaon though was quality of life. If you are willing to live in Louisville, you can't beat the QOL that...

    AA2060 Jumpseater appolgy.

    I would not have taken a seat in first class unless specifically told to. I would not have taken a drink. Never in a million years would I have asked for food.

    UPS Long Term Disability Plan?

    Argh!!! You sir, are incorrect. It pays if you are unable to hold the medical with very few exceptions (e.g. self-initiated loss of license due to psychosis.) But I will contact LT at the IPA on Monday and clarify for certain. I know the selling point that the IPA folks made to us was that you...

    UPS Long Term Disability Plan?

    If you call the union at 1-800-285-4IPA you may be able to get a copy of the actual policy. The previous post is from the union website. The 24 month waiting period is not a big deal as long as you enroll in the mutual aid program which pays the same as LTD during the waiting period.

    UPS Long Term Disability Plan?

    IPA LONG – TERM DISABILITY PROGRAM Effective June 1, 2004, the IPA Executive Board concluded an agreement with Anthem Life Insurance Company to continue offering Long-Term Disability Insurance coverage to IPA’s flight crewmembers. Many months have been spent reviewing competitive proposals from...
