Arguably, UPS is one of the better gigs in the industry. One thing that caught me off-guard this past year working for them is how much the rank-n-file do not like their employer, UPS.

In the cockpit I regularly hear, "They are liars, cheaters, out to fire you, they don't carry your bags up to the plane and stow them for you, all the Asst. CPs want to fire you, and on reserve they change your schedule mid-trip"...the list goes on and on.

This year their W-2(s) will be a few dollars shy of $400K.

I'm baffled, but when I ask them where they worked before it all becomes clear.

I actually have had a good run at UPS so far. No AK-47s in Beirut, no Africa flying, no prayers before landing, or furlough notices...it's actually going well.
