I wouldn't worry about 2012.

I agree with you on this. They will trip all over themselves trying to get up to speed.

I regret my decision and will spend the rest of my career regretting my decision with no loyalty towards this place.
Anyone who thinks that a UPS job is a good deal, I can assure you that these people are the worst a-holes in the world. They treat the employees like crap, the bases suck, the equipment sucks and the managment are morons.

Screw YOU-PS!!!!!
Dude you're acting pathetic!

Very hard to like the junior guy with that attitude, many of us are taking note.
Just remember that most of us are not in that boat. Frustrated yes, but we understand who to direct it at. Sometimes it just might seem like we/they don't.

Biggs (SqMan), you need to chill. Or don't--it's fun to watch your threads get deleted.

Call me naive or whatever.....but I think they're going to furlough because business is down about 20% give or take depending on the market. Exports from Taiwan are down about 50%, Japan about 30%, China about 30%. The've idled a bunch of DC 8's and a dozen or so 757's.
The capital markets and lending are in shambles. This isn't NPR and CNN hype. This is the worst thing to happen since 1929.
UPS has survived for over 100 years because they react to the current and anticipated business cycle and environment. Its not a socialist jobs program. We know how those "strategies" worked out (Cuba,USSR,Peoples Rep.China...)
In about 3 years, the current over 60 guys will be gone, UPS will be growing and stronger. The weak will have died and/or been eaten.

UPS sucks and except for the stability and pay, anyone thinking that the grass is greener over here is deluding themselves. Soon 300 of us will be without pay and stability. All while these greedy a-holes will make a half a billion dollars a quarter! What a bucnh of a-holes.

UPS sucks the big one.
Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the Regionals forum?

Maybe you shouldn't be flying. Your anger appears to be clouding your judgement. Don't be a fool and think that your identity is hidden.
