Straight from our director of airline operations, Rick Barr during a recent safety meeting earlier this month in Anchorage at the Marriott hotel.
Hiring in 2008 will be based on the age 65 rule. If the age limit is raised UPS would expect to hire no more than 50 crew members. That number would also be based on any displacement bid!!!

Segataki,
I remember hearing the same info.
Just thinking out loud, I wonder if there is any merit in the union or the company in holding one of our famous "straw polls", mock bids, or the like to see just what the "plans" of the pilots that are approaching 60/over 60.
Again thinking aloud, do we think all pilots will continue past 60 ? Will some consider bypass ? If a buyout would be offered, would any take it ?
We've kicked around a few sets of numbers on the m.board about who is "newly eligible" for continued employment (for lack of a better phrase), but if we had a handle of who wants to stay and who has had enough of this rat race, maybe our hiring plans would have more accuracy.
Just thinking out loud, sorry for the smoke coming out of my ears.
