    Age 63????

    Finally I have some re-enforcements on this thread. There for a while I was the only pilot that is against changing the age 60 rule. I agree with most everything they have said about why not to change the age 60 rule. Guys that want to change it, need to get a life. Something other than...

    Age 63????

    First off. How do you get from what Ive said in my post that I dont think Im lucky to be at UPS. I was the luckiest SOB out there, believe me. I know about interviews, Ive been to plenty, Forget the regionals, there were too many interviews to count, but at the majors, I got hired at three...

    Age 63????

    The other thing to consider is that airlines have set up the "A" plan to compensate pilots for the break between age 60 manditory retirment and the Social security age of 64 or 65 or whatever age it is. Once (if) the rule is changed. Kiss that goodbye... Another selfish act contributed by the...

    Age 63????

    Like I said, Its all about perspective... Ive got roughly 20 years left and am against changing the retirement age. Many guys I know getting ready to retire, disagree with me. A few I know agree and want to do nothing but retire when they hit 60. I stand by everything Ive said, its what I...

    Age 63????

    Yeah, I know Im lucky to be at UPS. I still have a job, thats lucky, but it doesnt mean it is a walk in the park to be a night guys. The last word Id use to describe my job at UPS is "Lucky" That being said, It still doesnt change the fact that changing the age will only stand to benifit one...

    Age 63????

    Yeah right, My heart bleeds for you. You make the case for extending the age over 60 to all the hard cases and worst case senerios. I think Id be right in guessing that only a very small few fall into the category that you mentioned and most just had poor planning or simply dont have a life...

    Age 63????

    I have a solution, Its called get a life!!! I hate that I (and others) might have to wait to retire till Im 63 or 65 because of a few pilots out there that got a divorce and need the money to pay mama, and/or have no life to go to when they retire. If you like being at work (because your super...

    UPS contract talks?

    The only problem with your line of thinking is that your thoughts make sense as if you actually planned out your response, and backed it up by forward thinking. Remember, This is UPS. We'll have none of that...

    JB and the Teamsters

    So I guessing all those replys means no, you guys didnt bring the teamsters on the property to represent you? Considering all that I have read here on this messege board from JB pillots, I personally wouldnt think JB would be seeking union representation. I could be wrong...

    JB and the Teamsters

    Ive been out of the loop for a while, I was in EWR yesterday and heard two pilots talking about how the JB pilot group had brought the Teamsters on the property to represent them. I told them I didnt think that was true, but really didnt know if it was so. Now Im going to the source, LOL...

    UPS Hiring?

    Hey Clyde, no need to get wise about my comments, Im just trying to help. I too think its BS that Management has the most pull at UPS. If that kind of thing bothers you, this is not the company for you, That is just a minute sampling of the kind of "us and them" attitude that prevails here...

    UPS Hiring?

    Hiring mins at the end of hiring 3 years ago, Required Mins: 1000 PIC FW/Turbin Total time Com with experience... Realistic number for most pilots (2000 PIC FW/turbin and about 4-6000 TT) but then again, theres always those few that get in with 500 PIC (they know someone "important" and I...

    DHL commercial

    Anyone see the New DHL commercial where UPS and FedEx are fighting between themselves to get to a customer and when they arrive, DHL is leaving with the business. I hate to shoot myself in the foot being Im a UPS guy but it was great. I admit I was shocked when I saw it, but it made me laugh...

    Job Offer Delima?

    A friend of mine interviewed with UPS in June, I interviewed in July. We both got the same class date. I took it, he told UPS that he wanted to waited till the next class date in Nov because he wanted to finish personal business with his new home. My class date was Sept 6, 2001... November...

    USAirways Pilots Offer 12% Pay Cut

    It’s a passionate subject to talk about, pay cuts and the state of the industry. I think if you look at the Generals statement without reading anything into it, he's right, and I agree with him. I also think that the guys at US Airways (or any other airline fighting to stay afloat) should do...

    Jet Blue firing???

    :confused: I heard from some friends that JB had fired some pilots who were approaching thier 5 year mark. This is not flame, Im just curious if this is true from anyone at JB or if this was just BS... If its true what were the circumstances surrounding the firings? Ive been on vacation...

    Ups

    Ive been on reserve for almost 3 years, I fly about 1-2 times a month, usually no more than an out and back in, week long reserve assignments are rare at best. If you commute, Life sux, If you bite the bullet and move to SDF. It aint so bad... I usually have to displace a pilot to get my...
