What is the IPA advising the crewforce to do with open time and over time???
No open time pick up. No Junior available. Both of which the union can legally request per our contract during a time of layoffs. Executive Board member recently stated that occurrences of open time pickup that have been verified since the union has requested no pick up is in the low single digits. Although management is spreading rumors that people are picking up it is false information designed to break our resolve, again from the union office.

The fact that we and Mesa are the only airlines actively furloughing pilots right now pretty much sums up how you will be treated as an employee by the big brown machine.

Since this flame is about bashing UPS, how 'bout a list of notable quotables. We hear them in the crewrooms, on the line, time to share what we can with the world ...

You can't spell StUPid without UPS.

Best job and greatest crews I have flown with, worst company I have ever worked for.

I used to like to have a drink after work, now I NEED several.

To early airline new hires: The company considers all employees thiefs. We just haven't caught you yet !

To recent airline new hires: Welcome to the last airline job you will ever have ...

... Fire away ...

I suggest you send that info to TK on the EB. The company has been mis-coding things. Its accomplishing what they want, just as your comment on this board has done. If its true, it would make about four in the last two months.

No offense taken.

I'd give my left man-boob (moob) to work for the same employer for 20 years...much less 5 years. I'd also show people pictures of my rock garden to be in the left seat more than 3 years.
