[QUOTE="tellitstraight, post: 495727, member: 19159"] Sorry missed your question earlier 767mech - When are we supposed to start worrying about costs? Does the company have to start bleeding before management does the responsible thing and start worrying about costs? Yes UPS made 6.6 billion dollars LAST year but the economy has continued to deteriorate around the globe. Our credit rating was downgraded last week due to continued weakness, this is a real crisis and if we are not proactive the toll will be greater then the 300 pilots, 60 mechs, and I don't know how many drivers. UPS closed two night sorts in Feb, we only have 6 (our of 29) DC8's flying and a surplus of 757's at the moment. The responsible thing to do is to talk to the IPA and try to come up with a solution to save the 300 jobs and to bring costs in line with our competition so we can be competitive in a difficult market. The irresponsible thing to do is to just start cutting jobs without at least having a dialogue with the union. If the company and union can come up with a way to save $54 million great - if not then it will be a sad day at UPS Airlines to see 300 of our professional aviators furloughed. [/QUOTE]
