Avoiding furlough at UPS slides
Anyone checked out the slides? I thought reducing the bid line Guarantee was not part of the discussion? Someone tell me whats with over 50% of the folks in the IPA voting for it??? I am confused! Kick these clowns out of the office and tell them to pound sand already! Don't give them a dime. I rather be furloughed than deal with this bull$hit. Someone please explain this to me. Salty where are you?

Let's just wait and see what the EB has for us. I think the bigger question is if this does come out, will the people who answered in their survey that they would do one of the options step up to the plate and do what they said they would do. Sit tight...

It is voluntary in theory. It wasn't 50% of all IPA pilots but only about 420 or so that said they were willing to have their line reduced. Even though it would be voluntary I still don't see anywhere in our contract that addresses this (therefore it isn't contract compliant).

Let's just wait to see if anything comes out, then we can start our debates.

So a side letter to the side letter to the side letter, right???? I am not getting a warm fuzzy as far as where we are going with this thing! So all this time this is what we came up with? How about building lines that are not over 75 hours, or contractually compliant, CARF, etc???? I submitted eight different ideas as far as ways of making real savings and not one mentioned! I am starting to give up hope, and looking at careers outside of flying!

Wait till the details come out, if UPS even wants to do it.
I think you'll find the company won't have any problem getting volunteers for reduced work/pay.
That's the way it goes at the other airlines.
Why don't you ask some of your buddies that work at some other pax airlines?
