Duks--The vast majority of UPS pilots know how lucky we are and love their jobs--I am one of them. But if you dare state suh here or on our internal board you get accused of wanting to join mgt. I had a weekend layover recently where they charged for the internet. I paid it. Spending out negotiating capital on trivial crap is silly.
It's something that would make life easier when you're on the road 2 weeks. To me, it's a perfect example of the lack of goodwill towards crewmembers.
BTW, I like my job too, but I'm a glass is empty person here so I'm never disappointed. Must have spent too much time with Sideshow.

That's kind of my point. The IPA would have to negotiate for something that other airlines get and the majority of hotels include in their corporate rate. Like turning down the USA Today and they will take 50 cents off your bill.

Trust me, I did more b!tching when I was at the commuters than there are stars in the sky. Got sick of it.

If the bottom 109 getting furloughed, the bottom 300 constantly being told they may or may not have a job, and the other 23xx pilots on the seniority list losing their captain seats or bases on top of all the other daily issues and stresses we have with UPS is "chicken sh*t" complaining, why don't you lay down on a couch and type away.....tell us what you've been through the last couple of years cause it's gotta be unbelievably bad. Most of us at UPS have worked at multiple airlines and have been furloughed many times before, so I will see your "chicken sh*t" and raise it a "bull crap."

FP, please take a look around at some of your neighbors, before you post statements like the above, as you can be sure that the vast majority of the USA's population would be damn happy to be making $150K/year forever.
