Talks resume in May between IPA/UPS??

[Airdale]

Anyone else hear the same or is it just wishful thinking.
I saw it at airlinepilotcentral forum. Cargo section titled "NMB call UPS/IPA back to table." Post says May 9th to resume talks.

NMB lets IPA out of the penalty box.

The question is did the cooling off soften their resolve? The pilots in the industry are relying on the pilots art FDX/UPS to come in BIG.

Unfortunately, paycuts loom for ABX pilots.

You are absolutely incorrect.

Looks like Rhoid found a new user name.

Astar management is looking for concessions and you really think Hete won't try the same thing at ABX? Listen for yourself 800 DHL 9717.

According to some sources, UPS pilots can expect the contract to be settled very soon--likely by mid summer. Its just around the corner... (FDX-MEC pilots can understand the humor in this one...)

No pipe-offs here, just wondering if any of you brown guys knew anything, or even knew that your guys were saying such things.

I was just being funny with the "box" comment.

On a serious note, I did hear something about that. But, I have been out of the loop on days off and don't know enough about it to pass judgment. I would hope that we aren't saying anything untrue and/or starting rumors.

For some reason, my post at 22:21z was posted out of sequence.

Now Albie, you and I both know Jack Lewis is the one that spread that rumor (unless you haven't read your FedEx e-mail lately). Though I must admit, when my husband started trashing our union after the MEC letter came out I had to wonder...I was just relieved it wasn't all rhetoric...

How about IPA saying that the FedEx contract is almost complete? I think they've come out and said that twice now. That's been quite a surprise to everyone, especially the negotiating committee.

C'mon folks, let's not turn this into a "my box is bigger than your box" discussion.
