UPS Poolies and futre pilots

[Wise Guy]

You guys are right. I'm way out of line. I'll vote yes no matter what.

Thanks for seeing the light, this is too great a company to ruin by us being too greedy now.

Wow, now there is a line or reasoning you don't hear very often. . .

"My company is making Record Profits, so I want a pay cut"

YGBSM. . . .

I think what is meant by that is that we are taking concessions to ensure the profitability continues.

I understand what you guys/gals are saying (not getting too greedy and keeping your job) but I heard the company is making billions. Why would you need a pay cut? Sounds like typical airline management bull$hit to me. WTF?

Quite frankly, I'm overpaid as it is for what I do. A reasonable concessionary package to help the company grow would be alright with me.

Apparently it has been difficult for UPS to weather the tough economic times of the recent past - - with pilot wages so high, it's a miracle they've posted record profits.


Somebody please tell me I accidentally entered the YGBSM section.

Is it true that FedEx management plans on using the new UPS contract as a guide for their negotiations? If so does that mean that FedEx pilots can anticipate concessions as well to stay competitive with UPS?

I'm gonna go out on a very short yet stout limb here and speak for the majority of FedEx pilots:


FedEx will become a trucking company before FedEx pilots agree to concessions.

That's not a very good attitude to have if you want your company to grow and prosper. You must realize what both of our companies are up against, the German invasion, they are a serious player.
