Since you don't work at UPS you have no idea how it works. It's not like a real airline.
You'd also be VERY wrong about line pilot's opinions of nurps. Very few are respected and NONE are trusted.
Don't base your experience of your airline with the trucking company that is UPS.

There's a safely issue anyway with the IPA pilots having to babysit the nurp. Much like I babysat you when I had to fly 2 miserable legs with you.

I'd like to know which FQS, NURPS, or whatever you choose to call them are respected.

Webster definition of a s--b:

a worker who refuses to join a labor union (2) : a union member who refuses to strike or returns to work before a strike has ended (3) : a worker who accepts employment or replaces a union worker during a strike (4) : one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion terms 4

Let's see, Teamsters strike in 1997-FQS crossed a picket line and flew.

UPS mgt pilots are held in very low esteem by 99% of line pilots. Not all individually, but their positions are a cancer. It's the "original sin" of the IPA that they exist.

You're a scab due to your actions prior to UPS. We have many mgt pilots who were scabs prior to their time at UPS. Being Flight Qualified Management (FQS) makes them many things but not scabs.
