[QUOTE="BrownBusDriver, post: 72958, member: 4563"] ScratchKing, I appreciate your kind comments. I do not speak for the IPA, only as a line pilot for UPS. I would like to add that I for one appreicate the fact that the history and future of UPS lies with the relationships that the drivers make and maintain every day with the business and private citizens you deliver to. I think you guys work harder than anyone in our industry. I also hope that from our perspective, that we will be compensated, like you, only that which we negotiate fairly. We are now at a cross roads of these negotiations, and it has again, unfortunately come down to more agressive attitudes and tactics. I hate the fact that the company seems to thrive in piting one group against another, to their own benefit. These actions in the end serve no one, and only take away from the fact that the competition is at the gates. We, the pilot group, are negotiating compensation and benefits reflecting what we believe is our primary conpetition group, FedEx. We have spent years in the past listening to the company tell us we are not an airline, and that we should not aspire to "airline" pilots compensations. Now that the passenger carrying industry is being gutted, we are now being told that pasenger carrying pilots are our "peer group". The fact of the matter is that our industry is thriving, and this group has helped expand the customer base well beyond the shores of the US to allow access to markets around the world. We have been promised compensation for almost 20 years, and now are being told we are extravagent. We have worked to build this system at sub-standard compensation, sub-standard work rules and facilities. We are tired of the promises that patience will provide solutions, while a few at this company profited to the extreme. Jim Kelly, our former CEO, and who I believe was the single figure in 1997 strike, exercised no less than 9 million dollars of options on UPS stock in the past year alone. We are not your enemy. We might not have that much in common in our daily work lives, but rest assured that as in the past, the IPA will in your future stand by you to assure your success at claiming your fair share of the spoils of this great and profitable company. We have shown this time and time again. If you have any question, please ask. I will to the best of my limited ability try to supply answers. Best to you and yours, BrownBusDriver [/QUOTE]
