How would UPS mgt know what the FDX pilots are proposing? If the rates were low the IPA isn't going to tell UPS mgt (not that they'd know either). FDX managment isn't going to tell UPS mgt, because if UPS finishes first then it increases the cost to FDX.
ABX was probably used as a minimum threshold. We had the highest hourly rates, but we are paid 20% less than your old contracts because our guarantee is only 65 hours.
Both unions need to go BIG. The job for us and Astar is convincing management we know we are part of a worldwide express operator and not a Kitty Hawk, Fine Air, Burlington, etc. like they are trying to convince us of.

pipejockey said:What I'd like to know about is that pathetic 1st year pay of 27 an hour. How much would it really cost the company to raise that to a minimum of 50 an hour where it should be? Except for the military pilots, which seem to make up 80% of the new hires at FedEx and UPS anyway, the rest of us have suffered through the abhorrent pay of the small 135 operators, or worse yet, the regional airlines. Anyone with the experience to get a job at this level should be paid a living wage.
