UPS Furloughs Begin This Weekend

[redflyer65]

And your PFT (Pay for Training) hasn't hurt the industry? You also don't have a pension, even though your company could afford it (didn't lose it in BK).
Bye Bye--General Lee

Are you serious General? No pension, really? That's hilarious coming from you. Do you have any idea what some of the senior guys at SW have in the bank? Stock options made them millionaires without anything else. Add in some years of profit sharing at more than 15% of their annual salaries for several years.. then a 401k bump ON TOP of all that. Do you think they really need more money?

You can keep your pension...oh wait, I'm sorry.

PFT argument doesn't hold water either, try again.

"and raising of the pilot retirement age from 60 to 65 in December 2007 necessitates its first-ever pilot furloughs."

Going after your fellow pilot is just what management wants, congrats, you are a managers wet dream.
PBR
P.S. And no I am a long ways from 60, you guys just don't get it, 60 vs 65, regional vs mainline, LLC vs LLC ect, the ENEMY is management, and you are too stupid to see the basic facts. Who furloughs, enters BK, merges companies? Oh yeah RJ pilots, age 62 pilots and SWA pilots. You want to see the REAL enemy, look in the mirror, but won't the reality is painful.

mgmt is always the enemy, but its the 63 year old that could easily retire but doesn't because he doesn't have a loving wife, any friends, or a fricking hobby isn't the fault of the 300 guys getting furloughed.

Exactly. Why PBR doesn't get it and why he thinks mgmt even cares while his 60 yr old buddy is the real one bending him over. He would still blame mgmt if the age limit were raised to 70.

Sounds similar to what's happened at NetJets. Sad thing there is that there is NO retirement age. About 200 guys took the early buyout and there are STILL about 300 guys left that are over 60 while 495 guys just got furloughed. Learn to play golf you old geezers!!!!
