I believe you. Most men are this way, not all, but most.Whatever MrFed, I had 3 guys trailng me like dogs in heat and I did ask them, and they did tell me UPS executives....Please dont call me a liar. Because I am not....
...no one is calling you a liar...perhaps the executives had a tight time schedule that the commercial airlines could not accomodate....all I know is that we have been told that UPS executives fly coach...
Thank you for this reply. You are right in a righteous way. But what you say is very very Democratic and semi-communist. True equal is a communist ideal. In terms of old timers making more then new hires can ever make is very much a demo/union/rights/middle class issue were are fighting today. That is why I am pointed more democratically today vs republican ideally. America is going anywhere but up if future generations make less then past generations. Guaranteed loser.
I'm hoping you start to see how you are playing both sides of the fence unknowingly. You want Fedex to pay you and treat you better. By being Republican based, you are going against what you want. You need your rights, you need unions to exist at the minimum to set a workable wage scale. You are like me, you are like all of us here. You need protections, you only want a fair wage and to live off that and raise a family. Having corporations/republican's run the show with what they are showing and telling us will not satisfy your needs at this time. The people that you are unhappy with at Fedex are Republican aligned, no?
But about the neighbor doing the same thing but not as well but still getting paid more... Unless we go communist that can still happen in a democratic world as well. It's still a market party and in good times you have the option to leave and find the same job at a better scale. Hell I have some friends that even in these times have done it recently. The scenario you portray is also an issue of the employee, you still have to keep your options open, don't be totally complacent. In fact I went to a High School recently to talk about my line of work, one of the points I made clear to the students was this: 1. Don't be afraid to move, don't use friends and family as the reason why you won't. You need to maximize you and open your world. 2. When starting out in the field you want to be in, work a couple years to get the needed EXP and then jump jobs to get to the scale you want, that is the easiest way to get 10-25% pay raises, otherwise most companies will take advantage of your complacency and you won't get to where you want to be.
This airport accommodates Frito lay, TI and UPS....Just saying...Those men(UPS) were all over me like white on rice....
I have to side with Goldilocks on this one a bit... because we all know better then to just carte blanche trust people anymore. There is some local sport talk guy who always sides with "people are better then this" when a scandal breaks. It almost always turns out to be true and this guy never learns and assumes the next scandal, it can't be. Sometimes you have to stop playing the fool. This isn't a huge deal to me, but just sayin how things are sold to us anymore.

Maybe UPS was using NetJets or some other jet rental outfit on an as-needed basis. The point is that FedEx runs an enormous private jet fleet at tremendous cost when the company is supposedly ready to go belly-up at any minute. See anything amiss there?
That you use extremes? Company is selling to it's people it's going belly up now? Airline company has a lot of planes, news at 11.
I don't think you're understanding. These are executive jets, not cargo jets. Both UPS and FedEx have hundreds of line haul jets and supplemental turboprops (flown by contractors). They are used primarily for VIP transport (as in paid-off politicians), not freight. Therein lies the problem.
Oh I understand. First there are such things as executive jets, so they would be for executives. Then Fedex being an airlines them having exec jets, doesn't come as a total shocker to me. I just don't see the omg in this one, could it be tightened up some, perhaps. Would that trickle down to the worker, ahhh silence.
11 jets is excessive, especially when they might as well be called "Congress Express". You don't see anything wrong in spending huge money for them when they are claiming that costs have been cut to the bone? They are talking out of both sides of their mouths...typical.
And, as I recall, we can't be called an "airline" any longer since we're no longer allowed to jumpseat. No passengers = no airline..
Not sure if that is what makes an airline an airline, either way doesn't matter since,
unfortunately Jump-seat still happens, Only Pilots and Crew are the only ones, with the occasional exec.
The Pilots Union cited safety as a reason not to allow DGO members to jumpseat.. ironically
the only time there has been an attack on a FedEx flight was from a Disgruntled(psycho) Pilot.
