UPS Furloughs Begin This Weekend

[Scope out RJ's]

Hey at least they were honest about the age 60 to 65 part.

This sucks for my friends and former co-workers, good luck guys.

You can thank the southwest pilots for kicking off the support of age 65!

All the Over 60 guys should be furloughed first!!!!!

+1. Furlough from age 65 down to 60, then the bottom of the list up...

Well, yes and no. True our union pushed hard for it, but in the big scheme of things SWAPA is not nearly the power on the hill they think they are. Everyone patting PE on the back and calling him "Saint Paul" when his efforts were largely useless. Pathetic.

I just hope SWAPA fights as hard for the FO's has they did for the senior guys.

explanation? ??

Age 65 even misses the mark....The pilots at UPS really don't need to be fighting themselves right now- how many millions did UPS make last year? Sorry- but furloughs at a company that profitable is incredible.

2009 profit of 2.2 Billion........with a B!
A sad day.

Thank you Prater and ALPO for f'ing us on the age 65 fiasco.

Sorry to all of you getting furloughed. Did UPS give any recall forecast? Good luck! Being furloughed sucks! Welcome to a bit of Hell on Earth. :uzi:

They said 5 years (2015). And they said it with a straight face.

Just like we can all thank Delta for caving on weak ass SCOPE in exchange for pay and pension in that industry leading contract 2000. Now that can has been opened for good. Way to go!

Funny how that top pay and pension went away but scope got even worse. I'm sure all those ASA and Comair guys who rode the wave thank you though. I'm sure those 1,000 or so furloughed mainline guys don't.

RJs and codeshare has cost far more mainline jobs than age 65 dude. Thank yourself for that.

I think UPS and NetJets might be sister companies. "Voluntary concessions. OK, nice work guys, no furloughs". (Fast forward a few months) "Remember that no furloughs stuff? Yeah... Sorry about that......".
