UPS or AirTran

[zonker]

You freaking shmuck......

I love morons like you with your mentality. I've flown a total of 120 hours for the year and I won't pass 150 hours and make more then most FO's at Airtran flying 600-900 hours a year. And when I do fly at NIGHTS all I hear on the air is Cactus, Delta, Airtan, UsAir and Jetblue so be my guest and thank god you are so mighty that you turned down an interview with the trash haulers.....

Lets see... on top the above reasons.... hhhhmmm let me think


UPS 3rd Q results 1.04 BILLION NET PROFIT
Airtran 3rd Q results 4.3 MILLION DOLLAR LOSS


I thinK big brown wipes the big brown off of thier arse with 4.3 Million dollars worth of toilet paper a day. So Let me tell you what brown can do for you.... you ignorant plick.......


As for the original question....don't listen to idiots like this guy..... you can do any type of flying you want at UPS. Night time or not you don't have to kill yourself flying 900 hours a year for the next 30 years. We have sssooo many guys coming here from airtran its ridiculous..... stephanie is not a happy camper, cause she keeps losing pilots to UPS for a good reason. Do your homework and research the companies and then you'll see its a no brainer.......

Speaking of schmucks.

Take it easy there, Chief. Not everyone wants to fly at UPS - believe it or not. I do find it amusing that you get your tampon in a hellacious knot when somebody suggests it though.

Hypothetically, if one had a choice of classdates, which would you pick and why?

My Father runs a psychiatric hospital in ATL. Lets get you in for an evaluation. No brainer, UPS.

Hypothetically, you could insert (any air carrier name here except Fed Ex) or UPS, which would you choose?
DUH!

Holy smokes......someone hit a nerve.....teee heeee

I agree with you. You have got to be crazy to pick Airtran over UPS.

I flew less than 100 hours as an engineer last year. I averaged one all nighter every three weeks. I just got an afternoon flying line for next month....one transcon leg pretty much per day. Thanksgiving off....granted it's in Louisville and I don't live there but hey, I'm only on my 2nd year.
Life is rough hauling cargo.

You are right. Just wait till some LCC cargo company comes in and undercuts UPS' rates, then business will be in the dumps. Plus UPS doesn't hedge any fuel, so Southwest is the logical choice.

If you can pass the cost of fuel onto the consumer it doesn't matter if you hedge fuel. FedEx and UPS can pass along the price.

alright then

hey pool is cool......keep flyin your rj monkey nuts and come talk to us when your off the commuter board

 

[Pool is Cool]

Hey pit717, I interviewed at FedEx with 2 Airtran guys. Why is that? Keep your chin up, someday you might get a real job too.

 

[TheGuat]

The real question is would a current UPS pilot leave for Airtran and would a current Airtran pilot leave for UPS?

As a commuter, I'm curious how many days you were able to stay at home on average?

Approx. 12-14 every 28 days

Pool,

Take 5 man. Not everyone has a choice. If we all could work at ups or fedex we probably, I repeat probably would. But for some of us, we do the best with what we are able to get. Whether that be at Airtran, UPS, etc. I would personally choose UPS if all things were equal, but Airtran is not a bad place to get stuck. 3 year upgrade, great group to work with, growing fleet and network. I'm very happy here. It beats being furloughed anyday! UPS has much better pay, workrules, etc. But freight is not for everyone. Just my .02c.

Threads like this one is usually such worthless drivel, mental masturbation if you will. Different strokes for different folks. Some people like daytime flying, some like to have pax on board, etc. Me, personally, I like the pay and most importantly, JOB SECURITY. I know things can change to any company, jada jada jada. But, this right now is the most secure that one can get. I don't care what is behind the door - pax or rubber dog$hit. 3 furloughs in about 5 years is enough for me. Give me stability.

By the way, I worked 75 hrs in my 10 months as an FE. Yeah, night flying is really killing me. I sleep more through my reserve periods than I do working.

Really, though, if you are happy, that is all that matters.

Go straight to the doctors, you need your fricken head examined :nuts:

 

[Clyde]

Different strokes for different folks seems to be the theme here.

If you don't like flying nights, then get a job flying afternoon traffic watch. I don't think any airline out there is void of night schedules. If you want stable employment, a good paycheck and good QOL, let those be the parameters for any company you are contemplating working for.

 

[Pool is Cool]

The question was which would you choose if given the choice, AirTran or UPS. As I said, Job security, pay, pension, b-fund vs. nothing. The choice is simple. Seems like the folks defending AirTran have a lot of pent up hostility and anger. It's not my fault you work there.

Any place beats wherever it is you're flying a CRJ 700 at.

((((DING))))...you are free to remove your head from your ass.




Take no offense...I just got done watching your employee commercial on tv.

 

[TheGuat]

The typical response when you are turned down for a job, "I never really wanted to work there anyway".

How would you know????

You are right, I wouldn't know. I've never been turned down for a job.

 

[Networ-King]

So not only did you not get hired as a pilot, but you probably got fired for doing a crappy job throwing boxes....... no wonder you hate this place. Yeah... I hate the way they do business too.... 1 billion a quarter is disgraceful..... LOL....


back to the crackpipe for you man..... and NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!!!!
