UPS Management Position

So now a mgmt pilot is a scab, huh? You might not agree with them going to mgmt positions from the street but unless they've crossed a picket line, they're not a scab.

I agree, and we have our share that have done that. What my coworker brownie was getting at was not calling the guy a scab, but saying that the company is hiring these managers to be potential scabs should the need come up. If you don't want to be in that position, stay away!!

As was stated by 767pilot, our management pilots are different from the traditional management pilots. As follows:

Traditional - typically line pilots with a seniority number, will work a desk or training for a period of time, then return to the line.

UPS - hired as a manager, no seniority number, cannot move to the line pilot seniority list (unless you reinterview and start at the bottom), and most importantly, expected to CROSS A PICKET LINE if the IPA was to strike, thus making them scabs. Like it or not, it goes with that territory, so buyer beware.
