Widow's Son said:SWA and UPS are both great companies. The lifestyles are very different but most can adapt to either.
The fact that someone mentioned about the boxes not complaining is exactly why the boxboys may find themselves lacking in leverage someday.
The people who pay the money to fuel the airline don't have any interaction with the airline side of UPS. They just want to have their boxes picked up and delivered. They have no clue what happens in the meantime and could care less. There are myriad ways to move those boxes. As long as in house pilots work into the business plan things will be fine. The moment in house pilots no longer make business sense, something else will happen. That is what happened on the pax side with RJ's and international code shares.
As far as the teamsters go, when they make a fourth or a fifth of what the pilots do watch what happens when management shows them they can double their pay by using Chinaman's air to keep the airline running if the pilots were to ever shut it down.
There are several entities working very hard right now to replace human pilots in airplanes. They envision ATC and Bill Gates doing what pilots do.
I know someone loosly affiliated with Boeing who is working on that very project and he claims that their target market is cargo simply because of the fact that the boxes don't complain and the shippers could care less.
Granted this is still years away, but a lot can happen during the average 30 year career of a pilot.
