UPS is the source smarta$$.

 

[SWA/FO]

A 15 year employee who is a UPS CA told me today he voted "NO"

 

[FreightNazi]

I voted NO too, but this is a totally seperate LOA.

 

[SKYMASTER]

I have no idea if the UPS TA will pass or not. Almost seems 50/50. But are you joking about $45K? If I'm not mistaken, the TA says $33/hr? If it's $45K, that would be a hell of an overide/per diem/paid move/whatever! Please explain.

 

[FreightNazi]

$1500 ppd override. $1500 x 13 + $26000 probie pay = $45500.

[FONT=arial, Arial, Helvetica]3. Probationary Crewmembers. Probationary crewmembers do not have transition bidding rights under either the current 1998 book or the TA. The LOA gives our probationary crewmembers a one time opportunity to participate in bid 06-104 for the ANC domicile.

4. Seniority Crewmember Voluntary Three (3) Year ANC Commitment. For those crewmembers voluntarily willing to forego transition opportunities for a period of three years and move to Anchorage, the LOA provides relocation expenses both to ANC and back from ANC. These relocation expenses are outlined in the Letter and in the contract. They include roundtrip air transportation and lodging for the crewmember and his or her spouse in connection with housing searches. Nothing in this voluntary commitment would prevent a crewmember from upgrading to any seat, fleet, or domicile his seniority will allow him to hold even during the three year period.

5. New Hire Crewmember Voluntary Three (3) Year ANC Commitment. For new hire crewmembers who voluntarily accept a three year commitment to forgo opportunities to transition out of ANC, they will receive moving and relocation benefits to Anchorage. They will also receive a probationary pay supplement of $1,500 each pay period. This supplement will start with the beginning of IOE and end when the probationary crewmember moves to the second year pay scale. Again, nothing in this voluntary commitment would prevent a crewmember from upgrading to any seat, fleet, or domicile his seniority will allow him to hold.



I also voted no and hope it all works out, but this is entirely a different LOA from the TA.

Aug. 31. Should know that day.

Aug. 31. Should know that day.

If voting closes that day and it passes..when would the actual signing {ratification} take place?

 

[Green Baron 737]

Lifeguard: Heard mid Sept for ratification but that was a while back and could have changed. If it passes that would put ANC probie pay at around $53K. Of course you'll need it to compensate for the cost of living in ANC. Also bring your own women as there's none left up there.

What!?!? From what I've been told "...You never lose your girlfriend in Anchorage, you just lose your turn!" :blush:

That's cuz there is probably only one or two good looking ones there.

 

[Networ-King]

Thats why the flights are to asia..... there is plenty of good looking women there. Two weeks to the orient and two week in the lower 48 "dikin" around.

Mega... you vote no yet .

 

[capt. megadeth]

Mega... you vote no yet .

Well, I can tell you that the nutjobs that they just arrested the other day ain't helping the no vote any. I'm scared.:erm:

 

[malterf15]

Yes, no attractive women in Alaska, it's dark and cold, the beer sucks, no good skiing, the fishing sucks, the hunting sucks, you can't snowmachine much in the winter, no boating opportunities....for god's sake, who would want to go to Anchorage? You better not visit, just take my word for it. I tell you what, if they pay extra, I'll take one for the team and go. (once I learn the secret hand shake and get hired)

What are you scared about? Since the last time they did something, UPS has had NOTHING but record profits. The worse the world does, the better UPS does.

Malter, I thought you were in the FDX pool. I'm actually praying you start with us soon so you'll quit asking for interview/letter/hire/start dates!

Well, I was being slightly sarcastic when I said scared, but I am concerned. I wasn't here at the time but wasn't there a midterm agreement being talked about involving raises and after 9/11 UPS said nevermind? That's what I heard. If something were to happen and the TA gets voted down, I am just concerned that it will blow up in our face. Record profits or not, UPS will take full advantage of what is going on in the world around us and we may end up getting the shaft. That, Freightnazi is why I am "concerned".


disclaimer......This doesn't mean I am voting yes necessarily, it's just something to think about.

 

[malterf15]

Magnum,
Wrong Malter. I'm still a wannabe.

UPS has WAY too many things on it's plate to be screwing around with the IPA if (hopefully when) this gets voted down. Not counting all the international growth at the airline, they have the mechanics and drivers up for negotiations. Don't ever forget that their SACRED 100 year anniversary. This company is so PR conscious that they will not let ANYTHING get in the way, distract or overshadow that!

Until you move to ANC...Oh wait, it's only for people trainable to the MD-11

 

[Baby Cakes]

If you pilots of UPS vote your contract down, would it be based largely on emotion instead of reason? Your entire leadership is endorsing it afterall, no?

Mr. Lamo weak slam poster, we salute you. This Bud is for you.

Cool! Whoa, thank gawd I can't be trained on the MD. I guess that means I am saved from ANC. Oh gosh golly goodie for me then. Maybe you'll get stuck going there Chuck.
