300 furloughs UPS

[Redmeat]

I remember the Teamsters strike in '97 (I believe the pilots were on a sympathy strike?).

UPS management used every last bit of available chartered lift they could find...from on-demand DC-8/DC-9 AC down to every last available Falcon and Lear.

Crazy times back then. UPS was making a killing back then too. I wonder how far management will take it this time.

You guys keep mentioning peak, all I heard about this year was that there was no peak, and the economy is not even close to the bottom. Good luck, last thing we need is more unemployed pilots.

I believe the holiday season is what they are referring to. Typically that's when the most packages are sent.

"On Tuesday, UPS said volume exceeded 20 million packages on five consecutive days during the peak holiday shipping season. Total U.S. volume, however, was down 4.4 percent in the fourth quarter."

That tells us nothing. Is that above the normal 1 million, 10, 50? There will be a peak this year alright, just worse than last year. They ain't bluffin.

For the full year, the company delivered 3.9 billion packages, an average of 15.5 million per day. Consolidated revenue increased 3.6% to $51.5 billion.

What will happen to the 150 pilots hired by managment out of seniority into Line Check and Chief pilot positions? Will they be furloughed first?

Can you please explain that to everyone else on here who has no clue what you are talking about. So what will happen to those management pilots?

Thanks.
