[QUOTE="air_upser, post: 75372, member: 88"] Brownpilot, I believe there is a place for unions in the american workforce, however, I don't understand why they are never happy with what they have. Why do maximum salaries always need to increase more than the cost of living? If $200,000 is good today, why won't it be good next year if a cost of living adjustment is added? UPS is profitable. Great. That means you'll have a job in 10 years unlike your fellow pilots at Delta, NWA and American. I don't think a little more towards healthcare will break you either. Better facilties.....yup you'll probably get that too. Outsourcing. Where, SCS? That's not outsourcing. I guess what I'm trying to say is I fail to see what all the anger and the "us versus them" attitude is all about. When we gave you a brown uniform we made you the envy of every other pilot out there, yet, when it comes contract time, UPS owes you something. Personally, I find it frustrating. I can't wait to see what happens in 2008. Is there legitimate issues? Absolutely. Our drivers work hard and shouldn't be required to miss every after school program their kids have because we need them to stay out until 8 or 9pm. But do I think the top pay should be increased? Nope. Cost of living only. It's a great job with great benefits. But of course, the union will try to use their leverage and ask for everything. Heck, I'd even support profit sharing if they didn't ask for an increase every contract(beyond cost of living). Anyhow, this board gets pretty mean sometimes. I'm friends and neighbors with pilots, drivers, and managers alike. When the day is done, we're all just human and making the best out of life. [/QUOTE]
