{UPS FUEL SURCHARGE}
UPS has announced it will raise its fuel surcharge on air services
to 12.5% next month due to rising jet-fuel prices. The increase
begins October 3 and will apply to Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air,
3 Day Select and U.S. International air services. The surcharge
on UPS ground services, tied to diesel-fuel prices, remains at
3%. UPS Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing
Kurt Kuehn says, "We've done a good job of leveraging our integrated
network to obtain fuel savings and that's what enables us even
now to keep our air surcharge cap below our major competitors."

Because their competition will just undercut them. . .

Makes sense to all of us to add a surcharge to the passengers, which means most airlines will lower their ticket prices.

Well, if that's the case then why won't UPS's competition undercut them?

I've been wondering about this for some time now.

And the pilots get to help load/unload the freight! ;)



In an effort to build schedules with more days off, they're looking for an exception to the duty time/flight time exception (yes, I said exception to the exception) that will permit loading and unloading to count towards rest time free from duty.

:eek:



:)




Anybody know what the pay and QOL will be for the JetBlue Cargo pilots?



:D
