UPS or AirTran

[Pool is Cool]

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

Never end a sentence with a preposition. There are only 3 places better than where I am flying a CRJ 700. They are in order, FedEx, UPS and Southwest.

I love all these discussions about this company and that company, but if we go to 65, then every job will suck. Add another five years of throwing gear. Right now, anybody who has the good fortune of having a choice of companies should take the one that'll be the most pleasant for a very long time in the right seat.

My gawd, someone needs to take these "Which airline would you choose... XXX vs. YYY?" threads out back and shoot them. It all boils down to the same issues (insert whatever airline you wish and these are in no particular order):
1. pay
2. domicles/commuting policy
3. upgrade
4. benefits (retirement, health care, etc)
5. equipment
6. schedule (days off, hours/month, day/night flying)
7. people or boxes
8. domestic/international
9. company management/history/health/culture

I probably missed a few, but I was in a rush to post this reply in the hopes I could prevent another "Us vs. Them" thread from clogging up the server. You answer the above questions and make your decision. You can find all the answers you need by doing a search since just about everyone of those questions was as asked for just about every company out there. I completely understand the "Do you like working for X company?" questions, but please spare us the "FedEx or Comair" questions.

Let me guess....You're one of those gay jets fags! Congrats on your go nowhere career!

So far on this one thread, I have been called "monkey nuts, a tool and a gay jet fag with a go nowhere career." Also, I had someone wish medical problems on me and I read negative remarks about my mother.

I was merely stating facts, AirTran is not in the same league as UPS, period. You people need to lighten up and get real or get therapy.

Whatever, pool boy. Maybe if you spent more time working on your people skills instead of correcting grammar on a message board you wouldn't still be an RJ captain with over 6000 hrs. If your actual personality is anything close to what you've exhibited on this board I'm quite sure that your airline career has gone as far as it's going to go.

ok

and i wasnt talking bad about your mother.....i just said that shes #2 on my list and that was a fun night at the ramada

 

[whatitdoing?]

Holy Crap, retards like you get an interview at UPS....

 

[SkiFishFly]

Holy Crap, retards like you get an interview at UPS....

My thoughts exactly...

 

[CapnVegetto]

I'd take Airtran for the reason that someone already posted here.....I don't want to fly on the wrong side of the clock. I know UPS is a GREAT job, as is FedEx....probably one of the best in the US. But I'd be completely miserable and absolutely hate it there because of the night thing. You can't pay me enough money to stay up all night like that. Again, nothing against you FedEx and UPS guys. You have GREAT jobs. It's just not for me.

 

[freightdogfred]

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

Well, if you leave anywhere to go to UPS you may find yourself in the cockpit with THE GUAT, RHOID, UPSer or one of the many other monikers he's got stashed. Be careful, the brain damage he's on LTL for may not manifest itself until it's too late.

 

[Whine Lover]

Night freight is night freight....Nuff' said.


The question is:

If you were at UPS and got your "license to fly people" would you go somewhere else?

Could you kindly enlighten us all where you work?

Unless you consider going to FedEx going farther in my career!!

Buh Bye!!

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

Just kidding. I don't have a dog in this fight but I couldn't resist.
