    UPS "Cancels" Furlough

    I wouldn't take it as UPS planning to furlough at the end of 2004. We are very short crrews right now. They needed to pick a time and they did. I think they are hoping we get a contract signed by that time and they can re-evaluate where we are as far as staffing is concerned. They have yet...

    UPS "Cancels" Furlough

    Armyjets Haven't heard anything yet from HR as the letter came out yesterday. I am sure that someone will be calling them soon to see if there is any validity to what the company said. And when that happens we will post it ASAP.

    UPS "Cancels" Furlough

    Yeah the pilot group all chipped in to buy your routes and decided to put you guys on the street. Now I know where our union dues go. To put smaller outfits out of business. That sounds like us. Management had nothing to do with it.

    UPS "Cancels" Furlough

    Jetblue I am not sure I understand what you mean by "your minimum staffing concerns." It wasn't the pilot group or the union that had anything to do with Challenge Air. It was the Company. And if you know anything at all about UPS you know that UPS is Management and all we are is labor in...

    UPS "Cancels" Furlough

    UPS has sent a letter to the Pilot Group telling us that it has no plans to furlough till at least the end of 2004 (in effect cancelling the furlough talk that has been hanging over our heads since November.) The company announced plans in February to furlough up to 100 pilots by the end of...

    UPS jumpseat question

    I first met Schmuckatelly at NAS Pensacola in the summer of 1992. He has come a long way.

    UPS jumpseat question

    Inline is correct. UPS is not accepting offline jumpseaters at this time. Our jumpseat coordinator has been working real hard trying to get them approved. We can of course take Joe Schmuckatelly the lower level manager in charge of vending machine procurement wherever in the world he wants to...

    Question for UPS Poolees

    There is a rumor going around that UPS HR is starting to contact swimmers in the UPS Pilot Pool and asking them to update their resumes. Do any of you poolees have any info or proof to the rumor? Thanks Fly Safe

    Lifestyle changes at FedEx/UPS?

    Things have changed quite a bit here at Big Brown. Security is tighter (although you may get different opinions on that.) They screen you before you enter the property and also checks your bags and give you the wand before proceeding to the airplanes. Jumpseats are the biggie and source of...

    When will UPS start hiring?

    You may be right about some of the old farts staying. I cannot forsee myself working until I am 70. Especially after all of the back side of the clock flying we do that will definitely have an adverse affect on our longevity on this earth in the long run. Of course I am not complaining about...

    When will UPS start hiring?

    yes that is correct. Which really doesn't mean much. UPS has a habit of dragginf things through the mud a bit.

    When will UPS start hiring?

    I don't see any reason for them not to honor those in the pool. HOWEVER. Reason is not something that is used with any frequence my UPS Management. But as UPS Capt has said, and the rumors around here go. It will probably be 2 years until we see anything worth voting for. Hopefully...

    When will UPS start hiring?

    While the company still suggests we are fat on pilots (which is a total farce) no one around here believes that any hiring will be done until after our new contract is signed. I am relatively new on the property so based on the remarks from the more senior guys we won't see a signed contract...

    UPS suspends pilot furlough plan

    It was an opportunity to leave the company for a minimum of 6 months. I would think the only people interested are those expecting children or maybe ones that would like ot get away from the BS for a while. Very few took this option

    UPS suspends pilot furlough plan

    jergar, I don't understand your question. As of Thursday there are no furloughs coming here at UPS for the forseeable future. Fly safe

    Polar Air Cargo

    Any rumors of a buyout of Polar/Atlas? We (UPS) need heavy lift and the company isn't making any steps to meet this end. Just wondering if there is any buzz out there. We'd love your routes and airplanes. (ah heck the pilots can come too) ;) Fly Safe

    UPS suspends pilot furlough plan

    Unionbusting 101 is all it was. We are in contract negotiations and they are trying to scare us. We have been shortstaffed for years. Bottom line is; We stopped picking up extra flying and the company was having service failures. Because of this combined with 70+ military callups the...

    FedEx Rhumormill

    Hey FedEx Guys?? Would you guys happen to know why we (UPS) are flying a USPS contract from Ontario, CA. to Honolulu? We have daily flights now? Not sure if we subcontracted an L1011 or if we're using one of our 747's. Any insight?

    Future outlook for FedEx & UPS

    They used all of my helo time. I converted it to Part 61 time. It helped me. Of course the fixed wing time is a necessity but it was nice using those extra 1500 hours. Don't sell yourself short. Include everything you can. And find someone at the company (preferably a management type and...
