Ups pilots strike authorization

[Orion inc.]

FedEx pilots have always made more. They operate more aircraft that are classified as "Heavy" than we do.

I get that. But I still think if we are supposed to be the "biggest and best" in the industry, our pilots should be the highest compensated.

The timing near peak could force management to get it together. This could be a PR nightmare and really hurt ups. Wall Street probably won't like it either.

Well we have to wait a few years before we strike.

 

[Orion inc.]

Nobody is striking with peak a few weeks away. There is far too much financially riding on Santa's ass.

One thing I've learned at 20 years at ups, never say never. Lol

When you pay people based on ego you go out of business.

I don't think it's that at all. If we pride ourselves as being the biggest,safest and best in our industry (which they do), the numbers should match as well.

Have you ever replied with substance? Or do you stick to nonsense?

We for sure aren't the biggest air cargo company in the US. FedEx runs circles around us and that's why they get more.

Maybe so, but we are the largest shipping company in the world. And 5 years, these guys have been more than patient. Management could make this worse if they don't settle. Think of the tumbling stock and bad PR.

The pilots deserve better. And they should get it now. They've waited long enough.

Strike!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[silenze]

I have already begun the work slowdown.
Oh wait thats my normal pace

 

[hellfire]

I say 804 should walk out monday morning in support

 

[Indecisi0n]

I been looking for an excuse to take some time off for weeks. STRIKE STRIKE

They top out close to 180k. I think when you make that much you can sit on your hands for a little bit.

The average pilot makes 238k a year. That was in the WSJ article.

You mean to tell me there is such thing as on time air? Our air is late more than it's on time.

It's the feeder drivers fault. If the trailers would get to the hubs earlier, the PC's could be loaded sooner.

Or something like that....

I want to know why H is standing up.for the pilots? Does he feel guilty for selling the test of us out?

Because he knows they aren't going there and that he won't have to back up his words.

I would be curious to see what he would have us do if the pilots actually walk, which we all know is not going to happen.

Then take some $ from the supervision and give it to the pilots who put their lives on the line moving air freight.

$240K plus a generous benefit and "time off" package not enough?

In this day and age I would not take the chance of flying aiir freight.
I don't care what it paid.

Kiss Amazon goodbye?

And if we're not going to file the paperwork ourselves to walk what do you think?
