You are a very angry little man. "Freight nazis" - that's a good one. Did you just make that up?
Listen up here, other than the flaimbaters, the VAST MAJORITY of UPS pilots are not "saliting" (whatever that means!) over the demise of ABX/ASTAR. I've been there before - it sucks. I wish...
To defend BBB, I think he has a valid point. I'm not trying to be incendiary, but what will happen if this deal falls through? Everyone is quick to jump on the "bash UPS" bandwagon, but truthfully, has anyone contemplated the alternative? So, deal falls through with UPS. They now sign up...
As a 2-time MEH furloughee, I feel for you guys. I wish all of you luck. Keep your heads up. If you can find other work, run far, far away from the Cookie Monster and never look back. My a$$ lost 10 pounds from not eating the cookies... :eek:
fodc8 is pretty much right on. I was a former ATAer, furloughed in 2005, but tried to keep abreast of what was going on afterward. Many felt that upper management (i.e. Gerdes, etc) knowingly lied to the pilot group keeping information of ATA's impending doom quiet. They kept saying "all is...
Having been a two-time Midwest furloughee, I feel for you folks. Sounds like TH and his gang of cronies is doing it again. Run away and never look back... Sorry to those that may be affected.
I can't speak for Clyde. I hope he was being sarcastic and joking around, but I'm not sure. Most of us at UPS don't feel this way. Good luck to you guys and the new a/c.
By the way, it does look good!
As a former ATA pilot, all I can say is WOW! I like the way you make it sound so comfy cozy by saying "I'm not trying to stir the pot,..." but yet, you come off totally as stirring the pot! Why should they thake the "offer"? Because it would probably be good for YOU, whereas a seniority...
L'il J,
You're starting to sound like management. :laugh: Personaly, I don't think that we are overstaffed, but more like the resources (us pilots) are just staffed in the wrong places. Certain fleets have reserve coverage that hardly gets touched, and then some that fly continuously.
You...
As Stan stated, this is a one-time charge taken to get out of the previous pension plan. Outside of this charge, all numbers were up YOY. Stock was up today, and analysts still expect good things from UPS. They all realize that this is a one-quarter thing, the Teamster contract is a good...
Spoken like a true veteran! :D I, like Jetjockey, rode the same furlough bus through 2 airlines. However, what really gets me is that people here still think that Timmy is the savior of Midwest. Let me back up for a sec. and say that I feel for those that will get their walking papers - been...
You, sir, go back to your little corner and be quiet! You are not familiar with the hiearchy of these things. :D
What's up, homie? How is TX treating you? Did you get CA on your last vacancy bid? I see it went very, very junior.
