UPS shipping?

[PBRstreetgang]

Hello,
I am wondering, does UPS allow reduced fare shipping for 121 pilots. I need to ship some springs and if I have to pay by the pound its gonna be a
deal breaker.
Thanks
PBR

You don't even get a deal if you work there.

And they use the "It's a Great Place to Work" slogan.

Isn't there a phenomenal FedEx discount for most 121 operators?

Well, I think it is... I too wish we had a discount on shipping and I too wish we gave that discount to other part 121 employees. However, personally I think 100 years of being a profitable business is more important to me than whether we get a shipping discount or not...I believe there are close to 500,000 employees at Big Brown, that'd be lots of discounts to give...
Of course, I would never complain if one day we offered the discount after all...

Yeah I think it is the same discount we get. 75% or so. Not sure how you use it.

Take your 121 ID into any Kinko's, they'll look your airline up on the computer to verify authenticity and then give you a 75% discount on air shipments, not ground.
