Take the job and suck it up for a year and stop f...ing complaining. It sure beats being furloughed........... or flying RJ's for chump change....
Well, thats what UPS is counting on... Sad...
I agree BBDC8 ... with UPS posting nearly $4 BILLION in annual profits (due in no small part to the hard work of its pilots), they can surely afford to pay their new hires a living wage. I have no desire to see the cargo wages race to the bottom of the toilet like the passenger industry because pilots like tailhookah are fighting to sell their labor cheaper than the next guy "just to have a job".
DESPERATION for jobs leads wages and working conditions into the sewer. Isn't that exactly what's going on in the passenger industry today? A guy flipping burgers at McDonald's or sorting nails at Home Depot makes more than many regional pilots. Your average mid-level salesman at a Fortune 500 company earns more than most major airline captains. ALL of the legacy pensions are gone ... some simply don't realize it.
This industry is in the toilet and the big flush is inevitable!
